Thickness of Flat Plate Cover or Head Formula Elements

Variables
Thickness of Flat Plate Head
Thickness of Flat Plate Head is distance between two surfaces of the plate, usually the smallest of three dimensions.
Symbol: tFlat Plate
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Edge Fixity Constant
Edge Fixity Constant means how much rotation is restrained at support. When full rotation is restrained, it is called Fixed connection.
Symbol: C
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Diameter of Plate
Diameter of Plate is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the plate and whose endpoints lie on the plate.
Symbol: D
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Internal Design Pressure
Internal Design Pressure is a measure of how the internal energy of a system changes when it expands or contracts at constant temperature.
Symbol: p
Measurement: PressureUnit: N/mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Design Stress
Design stress is the stress in which the factor of safety can be incurred.
