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