French term

formule des chaudières

French to English Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space Solenoid valve test proce
Sorry for the mix of English and French, but here's the phrase:
The internal platen conduits have their dimensions limited with regards to the helium pressure. The stresses induced by the pressure are low, xxxxxxxxx conditions:
• pressure 50 bars
• Maximum conduit radius: 10 mm
• Minimum material thickness: 2.5 mm
La formule « des chaudières » gives a stress level of 20 MPa, i.e. less than 7% of the elastic limit.
'Boilermaker's fomula' doesn't seem quite right, or am I wrong.
TIA Chris.

@CC Thanks for this. I was quite certain that there isn't a 'boiler formula' as such. This relates to a series of holes in a platen, see other question, so in fact is a series of holes that are under pressure. No boiling water just helium gas at very low temperature.
chris collister Oct 31, 2011:
There must be several hundred formulae (stress, strain, creep, fatigue, you name it) for both thin and thick-walled pressure vessels, most of which can be applied to a boiler (which is just a hot pressure vessel). Ypu could just call it "pressure vessel stress formula", or maybe "the formula used for boilers" if you want to keep the chaudière bit.

boiler formula

Example sentence:

Chaudière is a French word meaning boiler.

Une chaudière est un appareil (voire une installation industrielle, selon sa puissance), permettant de transférer en continu de l'énergie thermique à un fluide caloporteur (le plus généralement de l'eau).
