Simplified ASME VIII Div.1 formula. For design — perform full code calculation.
How it works
Estimate minimum wall thickness for a thin cylindrical pressure vessel.
Who it's for: Pressure vessel designers using a simplified ASME-style formula.
t = PR/(SE − 0.6P) for circumferential stress in thin walls.
Add corrosion allowance separately for service life.
Reference only — full design requires code-compliant analysis.
How to use
- Enter internal Pressure P, Radius R, allowable Stress S, and joint Efficiency E.
- Read minimum thickness t.
Good to know
- Always perform full ASME Section VIII or applicable code calculations for real vessels.
