Radial Stress Thin-wall Section Formula

\( \sigma_r \;=\;  \dfrac{ p \cdot r }{ 10 \cdot t  }\)     (Radial Stress Thin-wall Section)

\( p \;=\; \dfrac{ \sigma_r \cdot 10 \cdot t }{ r  }\) 

\( r \;=\;  \dfrac{ \sigma_r \cdot 10 \cdot t }{ p  }\) 

\( t \;=\;  \dfrac{ p \cdot r }{ \sigma_r \cdot 10  }\) 

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