RE: flange thickness based on diameter and test pressure

Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain have the equations, but you'll eat up a sheet of paper doing one, so I can't put it here.  

RE: flange thickness based on diameter and test pressure

I found a simple calc for deflection in Machinery's Handbook.  Keep deflection, d, to less than half the plate thickness, t.  d=.221WR**2/(Et**3) where W is the total load.

The optimist sees the glass as half full.  Yhe pessimist sees the glass as half empty.  The engineer see the glass as too large.
