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)

$$ \mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{S} * \mathrm{E} * \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{o}}-0.4 * \mathrm{t}} $$
