Skin plate
From the practical safety consideration the thickness of skin plates is of not
less than 10 mm.
An allowance of 2 mm thickness is made to allow for corrosion and rusting.
This allowance is included in the minimum specified thickness of 10 mm.
So that the effective thickness of skin plate is only 8 mm.
