1. What is the Outer Radius of Cut Cylindrical Shell?

The Outer Radius of Cut Cylindrical Shell is the distance between center and any point on the circumference of the bottom circular face in the outer cut cylinder of the Cut Cylindrical Shell.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( r_{Outer} \) — Outer Radius of Cut Cylindrical Shell (m)
• \( t_{Wall} \) — Wall Thickness of Cut Cylindrical Shell (m)
• \( r_{Inner} \) — Inner Radius of Cut Cylindrical Shell (m)

Explanation: The outer radius is simply the sum of the inner radius and the wall thickness of the cylindrical shell.

3. Importance of Outer Radius Calculation

Details: Calculating the outer radius is essential for determining the overall dimensions of cylindrical structures, material requirements, and structural integrity analysis in engineering applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter wall thickness and inner radius in meters. Both values must be non-negative numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What units should I use for the inputs?
A: The calculator uses meters (m) as the unit of measurement for both wall thickness and inner radius.

Q2: Can I use negative values for wall thickness or inner radius?
A: No, both wall thickness and inner radius must be non-negative values as they represent physical dimensions.

Q3: How precise are the calculations?
A: The calculator provides results with up to 4 decimal places precision for accurate engineering calculations.

Q4: What applications use this calculation?
A: This calculation is used in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, piping systems, and any application involving cylindrical shell structures.

Q5: Does this formula work for all types of cylindrical shells?
A: This formula applies specifically to cut cylindrical shells where the outer radius is directly related to the inner radius and wall thickness.
