Length $L_e$ for Conical Sections sketch (c) for external pressure

Conical Sections sketch (c)

Values for calculation

Axial length of cone or conical section

$L_c$ $\mathrm{mm}$

Outside diameter at large end of conical section under consideration

$D_L$ $\mathrm{mm}$

Outside diameter at small end of conical section under consideration

$D_s$ $\mathrm{mm}$

Outside diameter at large end of conical section under consideration $ D_{Ls} $

$D_{Ls}$ $\mathrm{mm}$

Outside radius at large end of conical section under consideration

$r_1$ $\mathrm{mm}$

One‐half of the included (apex) angle of the cone at the centerline of the head

$α$ $\mathrm{°}$

$$L_e=r_1\cdot\sin{α}+\cfrac{L_c}{2}\cdot\left(\cfrac{D_L+D_s}{D_{Ls}}\right)$$
