QUARTZ

The fundamental structural unit of industrial silicate minerals is the silica tetrahedron. Quartz is just a densely packed arrangement of these tetrahedra, as depicted in Figure 3. 


Quartz




Extended in three dimensions, this structure provides the characteristic hardness and inertness of quartz. The different forms of crystalline silica − most commonly quartz, cristobalite, and tridymite − differ mainly in the relative orientation of adjacent tetrahedra and the shape of voids created within a given plane.

Dimensions of Dished Ends for Pressure Vessels like Boiler, Reactor, Storage Tank

According to IS 4049 (Part-2): 1996 and Table 2 Dimensions for Dished and Flanged Ends (Torispherical) Inside Crown Radius is 80% of ID Inside knuckles Radius is 10% of ID and in no case less than 6% nor less than 3 x thickness of Dish.   Inside height of Dish can be calculated according to IS: 2825 – 1969 and IS 4049 (Part-2) : 1996 as follows: Now the Inside height can be calculated according to IS: 4179 – 1997 which is as follows:  When Knuckle Radius is 10% of ID           2. When Knuckle Radius is 6% of ID           Where h i = Inside height of Dish                       R i = Crown Radius of Dish                       r i = Knuckle radius of Dish ...
