Thickness of shells under external pressure for Spherical Shells

Spherical shell R t R o
Spherical Shell

Values for calculation

$ T $ $ \mathrm{°C} $
$ P $ $ \mathrm{MPa} $
$ R_o $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ t $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ B $ $ \mathrm{MPa} $

Calculation

Factor $ A $

$$A=\cfrac{0.125}{\left(R_o/t\right)}$$

Calculated value of maximum allowable external working pressure for the assumed value of $ t $

$$P_a=\cfrac{B}{\left(R_o/t\right)}$$

$$P\le P_a$$
