The strength of longitudinal joint in Fig. 1-17 is 33 kips/ft, whereas for the girth is 16 kips/ft.
Calculate the maximum diameter of the cylinder tank if the internal pressure is 150 psi.
Given:
Jt= 33kips/ft. {for tangential
Jt= 16kips/ft. {for longitudinal
P= 150psi=150 x 12x12kip/ft2
Know that
Jt = Pd/2T { tangential stress t= thickness
33x103/2T=150x12x12xD/2T
D= 3.06 ft (1ft = 12in
D=36.67 in
Jt = pd/4t {longituding stress for girth
T1=16000/t = 21600 x D/4T
D = 2.96 ft
D= 35.56 in use smaller diameter in 35.56 in
D=35.56 inn
