Thickness of Flange Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thickness of Flange = (Diameter of Gasket at Load Reaction)*(sqrt((Design Pressure)/(Coefficient Value for Thickness of Flange*Permissible Stress)))+Corrosion Allowance
t_f = (G)*(sqrt((p)/(k*f)))+c
This formula uses 1 Functions, 6 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Thickness of Flange - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Flange is a protruded ridge, lip or rim, either external or internal, that serves to increase strength or for stabilizing and guiding the movements of a machine or its parts.
Diameter of Gasket at Load Reaction - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Gasket at Load Reaction on the downside, thinner gaskets will not seal as many flange irregularities as thicker gaskets, and require flatter flanges.
Design Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Design pressure is the pressure a pressurized item is designed to, and is higher than any expected operating pressures.
Coefficient Value for Thickness of Flange - Coefficient Value for Thickness of Flange is multiplier or factor that measures a particular property.
Permissible Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Permissible stress is the allowable stress in a design.
Corrosion Allowance - (Measured in Meter) - Corrosion allowance is defined as an extra thickness normally added to carbon and low alloy steel to mitigate the CO2 corrosion rate.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Diameter of Gasket at Load Reaction: 500 Millimeter --> 0.5 Meter (Check conversion here)
Design Pressure: 0.5 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 500000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Coefficient Value for Thickness of Flange: 0.02 --> No Conversion Required
Permissible Stress: 10.3 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 10300000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Corrosion Allowance: 10.5 Millimeter --> 0.0105 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_f = (G)*(sqrt((p)/(k*f)))+c --> (0.5)*(sqrt((500000)/(0.02*10300000)))+0.0105

Evaluating ... ...

t_f = 0.789471191062195

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.789471191062195 Meter -->789.471191062195 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

789.471191062195 ≈ 789.4712 Millimeter <-- Thickness of Flange
