Pressure vessel steel plates and water pressure
Thread Content
Assuming the yield strength of the steel plate at room temperature is 117 MPa, can I understand this as meaning that for a circle with a diameter of 200, the maximum uniform pressure it can withstand is also 117 MPa? It’s mainly because I need to create a water pressure system, and I couldn’t find flange covers at home; so I’m using two flanges with a steel plate in between to achieve the necessary water pressure. I’ve chosen steel with a thickness of 12 mm and grade Q245R – I’m not sure if it can withstand a water pressure of 4.6 MPa. The flanges themselves are fine; they’re 40 kilograms each
Flange 40KG? It’s too low. What’s the caliber?
The design pressure is only 3.0; the water pressure needs to reach 4.6. Isn’t a 40-kilogram flange sufficient?
