	Sep 27, 2013 One of my friends is interested in making a pressure vessel of 1 meter diameter and and 2 meter length in mild steel material to withstand pressure of 15 Kg or 15 bar and 250 Deg.C temperature. What should be the wall thickness of the vessel? what is the formula to calculate the same? Can you please respond with your information ?! Thanks.

	Does your friend have a computer? Pressure Vessel Formula and Calculator - Engineers Edge If he does, he should: How to Search the Internet - Southern Oregon University So should you! If this is homework, Tips for Posting on CR4: Look for answers before you post. Search CR4 or use a search engine to see if you can find the answer to your question. Do your own homework. CR4 is not a homework cheat site; however, if you have questions about understanding concepts or how a portion of a problem is derived, these types of questions will be accepted. Finally, 15 Kg is not a unit of pressure. Do you know what it is?

	...and remember it is never too early to involve the Engineer/Surveyor from the company that will be providing burst indemnity insurance cover for the vessel. So, pick up the phone, and get dialling. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	The wall thickness calculation is determined by carrying out a force balance along a theoretical plane section of the vessel, such plane being cut along a diameter through the centre of the cylinder. The force trying to burst the vessel is the pressure multiplied by the area on which it acts. The force trying to contain the contents is the tensile stress in the materials comprising the vessel walls acting over the area on which it acts. The rest is arithmetic. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	The self-serving commercial is a joke!
