Thickness Calculation Equation

This document contains calculations for determining the minimum wall thickness of cylindrical cigar tanks. It provides the formula to calculate the thickness of the cylindrical shell and convex ends. For the sample cylindrical shell, the calculated minimum thickness is 14.518 mm, which is less than the lowest ultrasonic test thickness of 18.1 mm. The document also includes an example remaining life calculation and lists references for standards on these thickness calculations.

Calculation Of Cylindrical Shell

Whereby the symbols have the following meaning:

 a= Calculated minimum wall thickness in mm


 D= Outside diameter of the cylinder in mm
 d= Inside diameter of the cylinder in inches
 Ph= hydraulic test pressure in bar
 Reg= Minimum guaranteed value of yield stress in MPa
 Rmg= Minimum guaranteed value of tensile strength in MPa
 F = Design stress factor is the ratio of equivalent wall stress at the test pressure to
guaranteed minimum yield stress
 H= Outside height, in millimeters, of domed part (convex head or base end)

Comments
The lowest taken UT thickness is greater than calculated thickness. So, the taken UT
thickness is satisfactory.
