What is the maximum allowable pressure if a factor of


A cylindrical vessel 2m internal diameter and 4m long has a wall thickness of 6mm. Strain gauges are installed on the vessel to measure hoop strain.

E = 290 GNm2

Yield Stress = 500 MPa

(i)  What is the maximum allowable pressure if a factor of safety of 4 is to be used?

(ii) What pressure would a strain of 40 pc indicate?
