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