Pressure Vessel Wall Thickness with Internal Pressure Applied Calculator

Engineering Calculators

This calculator determines the thickness of a circumferential shell with an internal pressure applied: Typical applications are propane tanks, compressed air storage tanks etc.

The "Joint Efficiency" reflects your confidence in the welded seam areas of the as-manufactured pressure vessel.

Thickness of Circumferential Shells Under Internal Pressure:

Design Variables:
(P) = Design Pressure (internal) (psi) =

(R) = Inside radius of shell under consideration (in.) =

(S) = Maximum Allowable Stress value (psi) =

(E) Joint Efficiency (80% = .80) =

Result:
Minimum required wall thickness of shell (inches) =
