RE: Wear Plate design

Like Ralph said, one source is Eugene Megyesy manual. You can find there the Zick method to calculate stresses on saddles. Another approach is the Tooh and Nash method. There is a very good web site where you can download a suite of Excel spreadsheets regarding pressure vessel calculations. Address is www.laurencebrundrett.com . Check it out and guess youŽll find all your answers
