Thickness of Flat Plate Cover or Head Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thickness of Flat Plate Head = (Edge Fixity Constant*Diameter of Plate)*((Internal Design Pressure/Design Stress)^0.5)
t_{Flat Plate} = (C*D)*((p/F_c)^0.5)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Thickness of Flat Plate Head - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Flat Plate Head is distance between two surfaces of the plate, usually the smallest of three dimensions.
Edge Fixity Constant - Edge Fixity Constant means how much rotation is restrained at support. When full rotation is restrained, it is called Fixed connection.
Diameter of Plate - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Plate is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the plate and whose endpoints lie on the plate.
Internal Design Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Internal Design Pressure is a measure of how the internal energy of a system changes when it expands or contracts at constant temperature.
Design Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Design stress is the stress in which the factor of safety can be incurred.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Edge Fixity Constant: 0.4 --> No Conversion Required
Diameter of Plate: 9 Meter --> 9 Meter No Conversion Required
Internal Design Pressure: 0.7 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 700000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Design Stress: 1160 Newton per Square Meter --> 1160 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_{Flat Plate} = (C*D)*((p/F_c)^0.5) --> (0.4*9)*((700000/1160)^0.5)

Evaluating ... ...

t_{Flat Plate} = 88.4346631992931

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

88.4346631992931 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

88.4346631992931 ≈ 88.43466 Meter <-- Thickness of Flat Plate Head

Depth of Torispherical Head

Go Height of Formed Head = Outer Crown Radius of Head-(((Outer Crown Radius of Head)-(Outer Shell Diameter/2))*((Outer Crown Radius of Head)+(Outer Shell Diameter/2)-(2*Outer Knuckle Radius of Head)))^0.5

Thickness of Shallow dished and Standard dished (Torishperical) Head

Go Thickess of Torishperical Head = (Internal Design Pressure*Crown Radius*(1/4*(3+(Crown Radius/Knuckle Radius)^0.5)))/(2*Design Stress*Joint Efficiency)

Thickness of Elliptical Head

Go Thickness of Elliptical Head = (Internal Design Pressure*Major Axis of Ellipse*Stress Intensification Factor)/(2*Design Stress*Joint Efficiency)

Thickness of Flat Plate Cover or Head

Go Thickness of Flat Plate Head = (Edge Fixity Constant*Diameter of Plate)*((Internal Design Pressure/Design Stress)^0.5)

Stress Intensification Factor using Ratio of Major to Minor Axis

Go Stress Intensification Factor = (1/6)*(2+Ratio of Major to Minor Axis^2)

Depth of Hemispherical Head

Go Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/2

Depth of Elliptical Head

Go Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/4
