Cylindrical Pressure Vessel Stresses & Deformations

It must have happened to you that you are in doubt whether the pipe can withstand the set pressure or you have a steel tank that you are not sure about how much load it can stand?

This modest calculator calculates the following based on the entered parameters: inner and outer diameter and working pressure:

Circumferential stresses at 3 points (internal, central and external)
Radial stresses at 3 points
Elastic deformations due to stress change (at 3 points)

After that, the safety degree is calculated according to the theorems:

According to the theorem of maximum stresses
According to the theorem of maximum tangential stress
According to the theorem of maximum deformation work

Required Parameters:

Inner diameter d
Outside diameter D
Working pressure p
Material properties (Yield Strength, Young's Modulus, Poisson's Ratio)

Input Parameters
