    Tank wall thickness help

    Respect to all,

    please help with following problem:

    Have to calculate the wall thickness for the Stainless steel Water tank.
    I have found a lot of formulas and standards (rules), but I am confused because I get very different results.

    Tables, in general, shown that minimum is around 2-3 mm, but I get (in general) almost triple of it or more....
    Eg. - Thickness:
    Pressure (water height x radius x density) x radius, all devided by stainless steel max.allowed stress. (425 MPa)

    Sorry for my unknowledge for terms etc, just studing....
    In addition, pic attached.

    thank you very much,
    Student

    There are a bunch of pressure vessel calculators on Engineers Edge:

    Pressure Vessel Design Calculators

    These calculators will help you design to ASME Pressure Vessel Code. Other than these, I would see the pressure vessel asme section viii.
