How to calculate thickness of the segmental ring?

[saran]

Hi,
I am working as a design engineer. I am new to pressure seal bonnet Valve design. In that valve concept we are using a ring called as Segmental ring. The purpose of this ring is to withstand the entire force acting on the bonnet due to is working pressure. Now i want to know how to calculate the thickness of that ring. Here i am attaching the Picture for your ref. Thanks in advance.

Hi saran

As per the first thread in this section of PhysicsForums (PF), this is for introductions only (https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/please-read-no-questions-in-new-member-introductions.776481/). Please post your questions in the other areas of PF.

And also, welcome to PF!

Here is a link to; Mechanical packing design and theory of operation. It includes segmental ring seals.

We need more information before we can give a better response.

Hi Baluncore thanks for your reply. What kind of details you want for this?

Is this for a reciprocating or a rotating shaft?
Is it for air, steam or some other fluid?
What is the maximum operating pressure and temperature?

In your section diagram 10e.jpg I see no contact between a moving shaft and a seal that will wear. It appears to only involve a static packing. So where is your segmental seal going to be placed?
