    Thin Walled Pressure Vessel Problem

    A cylindrical steel pressure vessel 400 mm in diameter with a wall thickness of 20 mm, is subjected to an
    internal pressure of 4.5 MN/m2. Calculate the tangential and longitudinal stress in the steel.

    Solution:

    A. Tangential Stress

    Fy = 0
    F = 2TF Equation 1

    Note:
    Force(F) = Pressure(P) x Area(A)
    Force = Pressure x Diameter(D) x Length(L)
    F=PxDxL
    Stress(ST) = Tangential Force(TF) / Area
    Tangential Force = Stress x Area
    Tangential Force = Stress x Thickness(t) x Length

    T = ST x t x L
    P x D x L = 2 x ST x t x L
    ST = (P x D) / (2 x t)
    ST = (4.5MN/m2 x 400mm) / (2 x 20mm)
    ST = 45 MPa

    B. Longitudinal Stress

    Fx = 0
    F = PT Equation 2

    Note:
    Force = Pressure x Area

    Force = Pressure x ( 4
    )

    Stress(SL) = Longitudinal Force(PT) / Area


    Longitudinal Force = Stress x Area
    Longitudinal Force = Stress x pi x Diameter x Thickness
    PT = SL x pi x D x t

    2
    P x ( 4 ) = SL x pi x D x t
    SL = (P x D) / (4 x t)
    SL = (4.5MN/m2 x 400mm) / (4 x 20mm)
    SL = 22.5 MPa
