Glass thickness Calculation

DNV/GL - RU-SHIP - PT3 (Page - 627)

The required glass thickness for single pane windows and side scuttles, in mm, can
be calculated from the following formulae:

tr= (b/200) (p) for windows

b= the minor dimension of the window in mm

= factor obtained from the graph in Figure 1
p= design load in kN/m2 as given in Ch.4 Sec.5 [3.5]
tr = required glass thickness in mm.

The external pressure for the aft and forward external bulkheads of superstructures and
deckhouse walls, in kN/m2, shall be taken as:

z=
Tsc = Scantling draft (3.0m)
fd = Coefficient to be taken as

T 3m
Frame spacing 600 mm
Cb 0.7798 even keel

fc = coefficient, to be taken as:

For exposed parts of machinery casings, fc shall not be take

b1 = breadth of deckhouse at the position considered
B1 = actual breadth of ship on the exposed weather deck at the position conside
