Minimum gasket width calculation

(Brownell Young)
Ab = Total bolt area = 3581.722 cm2
Sa = bolt allowable stress = 181.34 N/mm2
y = Gasket design seating stress = 69.64 N/mm2
pi = 3.142 = 3.14
Go = Gasket OD = 2663 mm
Gi = Gasket ID = 2543 mm
Data taken from PVE report
Formula

Minimum gasket width = Ab*Sa/y*pi*(Go+Gi) = 57.03 mm
