Longitudinal Hoop Stress Thin-wall Section Formula

\( \sigma_h \;=\;   \dfrac{ p \cdot r }{ 2 \cdot t }\)     (Longitudinal Hoop Stress Thin-wall Section)

\( p \;=\;  \dfrac{ \sigma_h \cdot 2 \cdot  t }{ r }\) 

\( r \;=\;  \dfrac{ \sigma_h \cdot 2 \cdot t }{ p }\) 

\( t \;=\;  \dfrac{ p \cdot r }{ \sigma_h \cdot 2 }\) 

 Symbol English Metric
\(\large{ \sigma_h }\)  (Greek symbol sigma) = Spherical Hoop Stress \(lbf\;/\;in^2\) \(Pa\)
\(\large{ p }\) = Pressure Under Consideration \(lbf\;/\;in^2\) \(Pa\)
\(\large{ r }\) = Radius to Point of Intrest \(in \) \(mm \)
\(\large{ t }\) = Wall Thickness \(in \) \(mm \)
