Longitudinal Hoop Stress Thick-walled Section (Internal Pressure Only) Formula
\( \sigma_h \;=\; p_i \; r_i^2 \;/\; r_e^2 - r_i^2 \)
Symbol	English	Metric
\( \sigma_h \) (Greek symbol sigma) = Hoop Stress	\(lbf\;/\;in^2\)	\(Pa\)
\( p_i \) = Internal Pressure	\(lbf\;/\;in^2\)	\(Pa\)
\( r_i \) = Internal Radius	\( in \)	\( mm \)
\( r_e \) = External Radius	\( in \)	\( mm \)
