Can the thickness of an acrylic tube be calculated using the mean diameter formula?
Thread Content
As the title suggests: Can the thickness of an acrylic tube be calculated using the diameter formula from 150?
It’s not a coiled sheet; the acrylic tube is cast, so the weld coefficient can be ignored
The original poster can take a look at HG20640-1997; it mainly deals with the selection of allowable stress for materials, and the formulas for calculating thickness are more or less similar
I’ve checked the standards, as well as HG-T20696-1999 guidelines for the design of fiberglass-reinforced plastic chemical equipment. The formulas are the same; I think as long as a safety factor is specified, using this formula should be fine
No problem, but a high safety factor is required; glass performs poorly under tensile stress
Poster: May I ask how you finally calculated the thickness? I’m also facing problems with calculating thickness now. :(
