Spherical Hoop Stress Thin-wall Section Formula
\( \sigma_h \;=\; p \; r \;/\; 2 \; t \) (Spherical Hoop Stress Thin-wall Section) \( p \;=\; \sigma_h \; 2 \; t \;/\; r \) \( r \;=\; \sigma_h \; 2 \; t \;/\; p \) \( t \;=\; p \; r \;/\; \sigma_h \; 2 \)
Symbol	English	Metric
\( \sigma_h \) (Greek symbol sigma) = Spherical Hoop Stress	\(lbf\;/\;in^2\)	\(Pa\)
\( p \) = Pressure	\(lbf\;/\;in^2\)	\(Pa\)
\( r \) = Radius	\(in\)	\(mm\)
\( t \) = Wall Thickness	\(in\)	\(mm\)
