Thickness Required
Factor depending upon the method of attachment C' 0.3
Required thickness under operating cond G√[(C'*P/S*E)+(1.9*Wm1*hG/S*E*G3)] 21 mm
Required thickness under gasket seating cond G√[(1.9*Wm1*hG)/(S*E*G3)] 23 mm
Hence the required thickness of the blind cover 23 mm
Provided thickness of blind flange 27.00 mm
Maximum bolt spacing Bsmax 2a+[6*t/(m+0.5)] 80.500 mm
Provided bolt spacing BS 76.475 mm OK
