Minimum Wall Thickness Calculations for LPG gas cylinders of water capacity 33.

3Ltrs as per IS: 3196 (Part 1): When Yield Strength 345Mpa
Clause 6.2.1 (1) t= Ph x D i . 200 x 0.8 x J x Re Ph

Where t = Calculated minimum wall thickness of cylindrical shell, in mm Ph = test pressure, in Kgf/cm (25); J = weld joint factor, 0.9; Re= Yield strength, in Kgf/cm (35.18) Di = Inner diameter, in mm (314.4) The wall thickness of the cylindrical shell shall be not less than that calculated by using the following the equation: t= Ph x Di . 200 x 0.8 x J x Re Ph 25 x 314.4 . 200 x 0.8 x 0.9 x 35.18 25 7860 . 5065.92-25 7860 5040.92 1.56 1.56mm 25 x 314.4 200 x 0.8 x 0.9 x 35.18 25 .

Clause 6.2.1 (c), te = Ph x Di . X 200 x 0.8 x J x Re Ph = Do/ho K(0.65 + 0.1K)

4

K = Di + 2t hi +t K=

314.4 + 2 x 1.8 78.6 +1.8

318 . = 3.95 80.4

t = 1.56 x

3.95 ( 0.65 + 3.95 x 0.1) 4

= =

1.56 x 1.03 1.6 mm

Therefore minimum thickness is 1.6 mm which is greater of two.
