Calculation of Hydrostatic Test Stress & Product Stress per API-650 Section 5.5.1
S1 = ((td_1 - CA_1) / (ts_1 - CA_1)) * Sd_1
S1 = ((22.4962 - 1.5) / (24 - 1.5)) * 164.0
S1 = 153.04 MPa

As per API-650 5.5.1, first shell course material, EN-10025-S275-J0, is in Group IV and the stress is less
than or equal to 160; therefore, butt welded annular plates are not required

S2 = (tt_1 / ts_1) * St_1

S2 = (19.5647 / 24) * 176.0
S2 = 143.47 MPa

As per API-650 5.5.1, first shell course material, EN-10025-S275-J0, is in Group IV and the stress is less
than or equal to 171; therefore, butt welded annular plates are not required

S = MAX(S1 , S2)
S = MAX(153.0393 , 143.4743)
S = 153.04 MPa
