I need some help figuring out my numbers for my first build...
I have a 330 gallon tank which I understand to be 30" diameter and 114" in length... (I haven't actually seen it yet)
anyway the guy supplying me with the tank has offered to cut the doors and fb/cc opening for us (we don't have a plasma cutter so we jumped on it)
Just trying to figure out the dimensions and whatnot.
http://feldoncentral.com/bbqcalcula...0.18,0&fi=0,0,0,76.21,0&fc=16.09,22.75,203.23
CC size=80541.00
FB recommended size=26847.00
set the FB size so I get 100%
FB/CC size=203.23
RF plate area=304.845
now the circle calculator I am not so sure on...
with a radius of 15
and a segment height of 9.9
I get the segment area of 203.43
with a segment height of 13.3 (rf height)
I get the segment area of 302.54
and a chord ab of 29.807 (rf width)
This just doesn't seem right... if I use 1/4" for the plate that only leaves me a little less than 1 1/2" between my grate and the plate... I'm assuming I am doing something wrong.
