150LB Butterfly Valve Body Thickness

Why This Calculator

Thin-Wall Formula

Classic cylinder formula S'B = P*Dn/(2.3*[σL]-P)+C with proven reliability.

Corrosion Allowance

Built-in corrosion margin C for long-term service life.

WCB Material Default

Allowable stress preset for WCB carbon steel at 100 MPa.

Auto Pass/Fail

Instant judgment: actual SB vs. calculated minimum S'B.

Dual Verification

Compare both required thickness and safety margin.

Instant Result

Real-time calculation with no page reload required.
