Leakage area calculation formula

Parameter descriptionD is the diameter of the pipe (mm)θ1 is the opening angle of the circular crack (°), which is taken as 0.5L is the longitudinal crack length (mm), take 13
k is a dimensionless constant, taking 0.3The opening angle of θ2 longitudinal crack (°), take 0.1W is the tearing width of the pipe wall (mm), take 12
t is the thickness of annular separation (mm), take 10k1, k2 are dimensionless constants, take 0.05k is a dimensionless constant, taking 0.3
