Thermal Process and Mild Steel Pipework

Required diameter = 0·625 inches for inch. Note: When the thickness of the plate is given in millimetres. Convert millimetres to inches (1 mm = 0·0394 inches). Apply the formula. Convert inches to millimetres (1 inch = 25·4 mm). Example: Determine the diameter of rivet required for a plate thickness of 12·7 mm. Solution: T = 12·7 x 0·0394 ................
