Shape Factor for Circular or Annular Gasket Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shape Factor For Circular Gasket = (Outside Diameter of Packing Gasket-Inside Diameter of Packing Gasket)/(4*Thickness of Fluid Between Members)
S_pf = (D_o-D_i)/(4*t)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Shape Factor For Circular Gasket - Shape Factor For Circular Gasket is the ratio of the area of one load face to the area free to bulge.
Outside Diameter of Packing Gasket - (Measured in Meter) - Outside Diameter of Packing Gasket is the diameter of the external periphery of a gasket used in packing and sealing operations.
Inside Diameter of Packing Gasket - (Measured in Meter) - Inside Diameter of Packing Gasket is the diameter of the internal periphery of a gasket used in packing and sealing operations.
Thickness of Fluid Between Members - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Fluid Between Members refers to how resistant a fluid is to moving through it. For example, Water has a low or "thin" viscosity, while honey has a "thick" or high viscosity.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Outside Diameter of Packing Gasket: 60 Millimeter --> 0.06 Meter (Check conversion here)
Inside Diameter of Packing Gasket: 54 Millimeter --> 0.054 Meter (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Fluid Between Members: 1.92 Millimeter --> 0.00192 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S_pf = (D_o-D_i)/(4*t) --> (0.06-0.054)/(4*0.00192)

Evaluating ... ...

S_pf = 0.78125

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.78125 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.78125 <-- Shape Factor For Circular Gasket
