Hi all , I need to make a vessel to be under external pressure or with vacuum inside.
The vacuum will be no more than -500 mBar relative, or about 15 inch HG. This vessel will be made from, a standard PVC pipe 508 mm 9.5 mm thick or [20" ] Schedule 20. Please I need to know if it will resiste such pressure. Or give me the formula that handle such topic.

For a long cylinder or sphere, the wall stress is p=PD/(2t) where p= compresive stress in wall P=diff between external and internal pressures t=wall thickness D=dia of vessel Make sure your dimensions are consistent and look out for the end cap stresses for cylinder. |
