Calculations: Thin-Walled Pressure Vessel

General formula for pressure vessels [thin walled pressure vessels]

Stress in Longitudinal direction = P x R     

                                                 2 x t      

 

R = mean radius

t =thickness

 

Stress in Circumferential direction = P x R

                                                        t

A pressure vessel engineer should be consulted on all calculations.
