Symbol: fd
Measurement: StressUnit: N/mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Total Weight of Vessel
Total Weight of Vessel with Attachment widely depends on its size, material, and function.
Symbol: ΣW
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Mean Diameter of Skirt
Mean Diameter of Skirt in a vessel will depend on the size and design of the vessel.
