Hi all
I am trying to calculate the thickness of a Restriction Orifice Plate for higher Pressure drops (about 14 kg/sqcm pressure drop). Request you to share the calculation formulae for calculating the required thickness (Material of Plate is SS316). I have the Miller equation (from Flow measurement Engineering handbook), but want some more data on the thickness calculation requirements if the
a) Plate were to be Bolted between flanges
Plate was inserted between flanges.
I believe that the thickness requirements would be different in the cases above when the calculation is done using Roark's formulae. Kindly share the formulae for both the cases.
