Blind Plate Thickness ASME B31.3 Guide

The document outlines the formula for calculating the minimum required thickness of blind plates according to ASME B31.3, including variables such as inside diameter, test pressure, quality factor, and stress value. It provides a table with various sizes of blind plates, their corresponding dimensions, and calculated thickness values based on a test pressure of 10.00 kg/cm2 and material ASTM A36. The minimum quality factor used for calculations is 0.9.
