The document provides formulas for calculating stresses in different types of pressure vessels:
1) For thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessels, the hoop and longitudinal stresses can be calculated based on pressure, diameter, thickness, and joint efficiency.
2) For spherical pressure vessels, the stress can also be calculated based on pressure, diameter, thickness, and joint efficiency.
3) For thick-walled cylindrical pressure vessels, Lame's equation is used to calculate the minimum required thickness based on internal pressure, diameters, and stresses. Formulas are also provided to calculate internal and external stresses.

t • If the ratio of wall thickness to the inside diameter ( ) is less than 0.07 then the Di cylinder is considered as thin-wall. For Cylindrical Pressure Vessel • If efficiency of joint is not considered: St = tangential stress or hoop stress PD S= i 2t SL = longitudinal stress PD SL = i 4t • If efficiency of joint is considered: PD PD St = i SL = i 2te 4te Where: e = joint efficiency S = tangential stress Di = inside diameter t = thickness of the wall • Di = Do – 2t Where: t = wall thickness Do = outside diameter • For a cylindrical vessel filled with fluid: P = maximum pressure at the bottom P = w h = (SG x Ww) h

THICK WALL PRESSURE VESSEL
If the ratio of t/Di is greater than 0.07, then the vessel is considered as thick-wall. • Using Lame’s equation for internal pressure: D S +P t = [√ t i − 1] 2 S −P t i where: t = wall thickness St = tangential stress D = inside diameter Pi = internal pressure • When the vessel is subjected to an internal and external pressures: For Maximum Internal Stress: Pi (r2o + r2i ) − 2Po r2o Sti = r2o − r2i For Maximum External Stress: 2Pi r2i − Po (r2o + r2i ) Sto = r2o − r2i Where: Sti = maximum internal tangential stress Pi = internal pressure Sto = maximum external tangential stress Po = external pressure ro = outside radius ri = inside radius
