A cylindrical tank is required to contain a gage pressure 670 kPakPa. The tank is to be made of A516 grade 60 steel with a maximum allowable normal stress of 150 MPaMPa. If the inner diameter of the tank is 2 mm, what is the minimum thickness, tt, of the wall

    The minimum thickness t of the wall is 0.00446 mm

    Explanation:

    Solution

    Given that

    Pressure = 670kPa = 0.670

    σ allowable normal stress = 150 MPa

    Inner diameter = 2mm

    Steel = A516 grade 60

    Now,

    Since the hoop stress is twice the longitudinal stress, the cylindrical tank is more likely to fail from the hoop stress.

    Thus

    σ allowable = σₙ = pμ/t

    =p (d/2)

    150 MPa = 0.670MPa * 2/2/t

    =0.67/t

    t=0.67/150

    t = 0.00446 mm
