    Pressure Vessels Lectures 77

    This document provides guidance on calculating maximum allowable stress values for cylindrical shells and tubes. It outlines a 5-step process to determine the factor B, which represents the maximum allowable compressive stress. This value is compared to the actual computed compressive stress to ensure the wall thickness is sufficient. Key aspects covered are determining the modulus of elasticity from material charts, using the minimum required thickness and outer radius to calculate factor A, and selecting the smaller of the tensile stress value or computed compressive stress value as the maximum allowable stress.
