Dear all,
In the case of an elliptical manway like the one shown in the attached picture, how should I calculate the required thickness of the elliptical cover?
In some catalogs the thickness specified by the manufacturer seems too small. For example: a 12x16 manway specified to 700psi @ 650F has a 3/8" thick cover.
Best regards.
