    Weir Plate or Baffle Plate Calculation

    Uploaded by

    The document provides steps to calculate load, baffle thickness, and baffle deflection for a weir plate or baffle plate design. If deflection is excessive, the baffle thickness can be increased, stiffeners can be added, or a curved baffle design can be used. The ultimate design balances baffle thickness, stiffener spacing, and stiffener size. A sample is then provided to demonstrate the values used in the calculations.

    Weir Plate / Baffle Plate

    Find load, P
    A. p = 62.4 x a x Sg /144

    Find baffle thickness, tb

    B. tb = (SQRT b x pxb2 / Fb)

    Find baffle deflection, d

    C. d = px g 1
    x b 4 / E x tb3

    Limit deflection to the smaller of t/2 or b/360. If deflection is excessive then:


    a. Increase the baffle thickness.
    b. Add stiffeners.
    c. Go to curved baffle design.

    If stiffeners are added, the first step is to find the


    maximum “a” and “b” dimensions that will meet the
    allowable deflection for a given panel size. This will
    establish the stiffener spacing for both horizontal and
    vertical stiffeners. The ultimate design is a balance
    between baffle thickness, stiffener spacing, and stiffener
    size.
