How to calculate pressure acting on thin cylinder ?
How to calculate the minimum wall thickness of cylinder on which there is an external pressure ? thanks, Maoj |

Maoj, Are you an engineer? |

The wall thickness assumed is 2mm & the tube is perforated with 3mm holes at a distance of 10 mm from each other. The dia meter of the tube is 40mm while the height of the tube is 110 mm. |

Perforation means that the external and internal pressures are equal and therefore, no stresses. Unless you are talking a transient. |

Hello Zekeman, Thanks for the response. However, please note that on this thin cylinder/perforated tube, there is a filter element which will then obstruct the flow of fluid & thus there will be pressure on the tube. As the filter element clogs, there will be increase in pressure. The max working pressure is 8 bar ( 120 Psi). |

Well, in that case , I would take the worst case of a totally obstructed cylinder and use the classic stress equation:
s= pD/2t P= external stress D =cylinder diameter t= wall thickness s and p in same units and D and t in same units verifies this dimensionally. s would be compression in the walls; I would use a safety factor of at least 2 to compensate for stress factors due to the perforations. |

Zekeman is righ n regards of cirumfrentail stress on pressure vessel, if you are looking for Longitudinal Stress (i.e. Cicumfrential Joints) stress= Pr/t whre, P = Pressure
