A spherical stainless-steel tank having an inner diameter ‘D’, is used to store natural gas at a pressure of ‘p’. The properties of the steel are as follows: yield stress in tension is ‘T’; yield stress in shear is ‘S’ and modulus of elasticity is ‘E’. The desired factor of safety with respect to yielding is ‘F.S’. Determine the minimum permissible thickness t min of the tank. D (mm)=620   p (MPa)=25   T (MPa)=1000   S (MPa)=440  E (GPa)= 208      F.S=3.4

Question

A spherical stainless-steel tank having an inner diameter ‘D’, is used to store natural
gas at a pressure of ‘p’. The properties of the steel are as follows: yield stress in tension
is ‘T’; yield stress in shear is ‘S’ and modulus of elasticity is ‘E’. The desired factor of
safety with respect to yielding is ‘F.S’.
Determine the minimum permissible thickness t min of the tank.

D (mm)=620   p (MPa)=25   T (MPa)=1000   S (MPa)=440  E (GPa)= 208      F.S=3.4
