Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- System operating pressure = 35000000
- Seal groove width = 0.0032
- Seal material yield strength = 14000000
Expected Result:
- Maximum allowable radial clearance = 0.004
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Maximum allowable radial clearance = 0.004 m.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
