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)

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