tube glass, mawp? thickness?
tube glass, mawp? thickness?
(OP)
We have a stand for fluid steam demostration. There is steam traps with glass body and steel. I need know "theorical" equation for determinate the thickness o allowable pressure in a tube (cylindrical) of glass, specifically borosylicate 33. We working, in the laboratory with 30 psig max pressure.
A tube thickness 2.5 mm (0.098 inch) is enough for 30 psig?
thanks advance

RE: tube glass, mawp? thickness?
Is it a cylinder?
If cylinder what is the diameter?
How is it attached to the metal?
What is the temperature?
Is there is thermal shock?
Based on the size of glass pipe we used your thickness sounds a might thin.
RE: tube glass, mawp? thickness?
diameter is 90 mm (3.54")
thickness= 2.5 mm (0.098")
the working pressure is 30 psig. (max)
temperature max= 120ºC (248ºF )
Referent to thermal shock, the inicial temperature is 32ºC and the final is 120ºC in a aproximately 20 minutes.
the fluid is steam, assume saturate.
thanks advance unclesyd and someothers.
i want to know the mawp or the minimal thickness.
