Pressure criteria for separator by ASME (external radius)
Input(s)
S: Maximum Allowable Stress (psi)
E: Joint Efficiency (fraction)
\(\mathrm{t}\): Shell Plate Thickness (ft)
\(\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{o}}\): Outer Radius ( \(\mathrm{ft}\) )
Output(s)
P: Pressure (psi)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{S} * \mathrm{E} * \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{o}}-0.4 * \mathrm{t}}
\]
