Thickness of Flange Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Thickness of Flange?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

t f = (G) \cdot (\sqrt{\frac{p}{k \cdot f}}) + c

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

t f = (500mm) \cdot (\sqrt{\frac{0.5N/mm²}{0.02 \cdot 10.3N/mm²}}) + 10.5mm

Next Step Convert Units

∴

t f = (0.5m) \cdot (\sqrt{\frac{500000Pa}{0.02 \cdot 1E+7Pa}}) + 0.0105m

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

t f = (0.5) \cdot (\sqrt{\frac{500000}{0.02 \cdot 1E+7}}) + 0.0105

Next Step Evaluate

∴

t f = 0.789471191062195m

Next Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

t f = 789.471191062195mm

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

t f = 789.4712mm
