Material (Flange / Gusset / Shell) SA 240 316L Load on Flange T = 15.71 kg

Yield Stress of Flange fy = 1498.0 kg/cm² For point load Wpoint load

Allowable Bending Stress 2/3 * fy = σbending = 998.6667 kg/cm² Wpoint load = T / (a * b) = 0.08 kg/cm²

Flange Corrosion Allowance = 0.0 mm For u.d.l.

q = Wudl = 2 * W point load = 0.17 kg/cm²

Hence required flange THK t = 1.30 mm Provided Flange THK = 8.0 mm SAFE

GUSSET PLATE DESIGN

Maximum compressive force on gusset = 15.71 kg

Taking gusset plate thickness tg = 6 mm

Length of gusset plate Lg = 100 mm

KL / r = 46.19 Where, r = Radious of gyration = tg / (12)0.5

KL= Effective length = 0.8Lg

Actual compressive stress, = 6.39 kg/cm² SAFE

Allowable compressive stress = 850.37 kg/cm² Yield stress = 1498.0 kg/cm²

Young Modulus = 1955760 kg/cm²
