The document calculates the minimum required thickness of the bottom plate for a clarifier based on the fluid properties and design parameters. It determines the fluid density and pressure given the specific gravity and design height of the liquid. The maximum allowable stress and unsupported length are then used to calculate the minimum thickness of 6.7 mm. The provided bottom plate thickness of 10 mm meets or exceeds this requirement.
