Pressure criteria for separator by ASME (internal radius)
Input(s)
S: Maximum Allowable Stress (psi)
E: Joint Efficiency (fraction)
\(\mathrm{t}\): Thickness of Shell ( \(\mathrm{ft}\) )
\(\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{i}}\): Internal Radius of Shell ( \(\mathrm{ft}\) )
Output(s)
P: Pressure (psi)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{S} * \mathrm{E} * \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{i}}+0.6 * \mathrm{t}}
\]
