Important: Thin-
walled pressure
vessels should be
provided with a
sound framework for
stability /rigidity.

Note: pressure vessels for aircraft and rockets are assigned with lower factor of safety 11
values due to weight considerations.

Summary of Formulae:

1. Considering stress to the radial direction ( Hoop Stress):

t = P(Di) / 2(Sd)(η)

Di

2. Considering stress to the diametral direction:

t = P(Di) / 4(Sd)η

Where t = thickness of sheetmetal

P = gage pressure in tank
Di = inside diameter
Sd = Strength / N
η = joint efficiency %
12
N = factor of safety
