Save your work in Workbench window. In the Workbench window, right click on Mesh, and click Edit. A new ANSYS Mesher window will open. We will create a mesh with 200x30 60x50 elements along the pipeflat plate. This means that we will divide the pipe flate plate with 200 60 elements in axial y-axis direction and 30 50 elements along the radial x-axis direction.

In ANSYS Mesher, make sure that the unit we are working on is meter Metric unit. On the top menu, click on Units and make sure that Metric (m, kg, N, s, V, A) is selected.

You should have something that looks like this;

 
Now continue with the sizing in the axial y-axis direction.

Outline > Mesh > Insert > Sizing
In the Graphics window, select all the top and bottom edge of the geometry (press Ctrl + mouse click to multiple select). Under Details of "Edge Sizing", click Apply next to Geometry. Enter 0.03 for Element Size (this will give us roughly 200 divisions). Next to Behaviour, change Soft to Hard (This is to overwrite the sizing function employed by ANSYS Mesher. Try meshing with soft behavior and see what you get).

We have specified all the meshing conditions. Click Update on the third menu to see the mesh.
