Require thickness:

𝑡 = 𝑡 ′ + 𝐶 = 12.1739 + 3 = 15.1741 (𝑚𝑚)

On the market there are shells with actual thickness of 16 mm so we use this thickness
to calculate in the next section.

Check for Maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of the shell:

Maximum allowable working pressure:

2𝑆𝐸𝑡 2 × 107.5 (𝑀𝑃𝑎) × 1 × 16 (𝑚𝑚)

𝑃= = = 5.7029 (𝑀𝑃𝑎)
𝑅𝑖 + 0.2𝑡 600 (𝑚𝑚) + 0.2 × 16

According to ASME:

Since actual thickness = 16 < 0.356 × 𝑅𝑖 = 0.356 × 600 = 213

And P = 5.0729 < 0.665 × 𝑆𝐸 = 0.665 × 107.5 = 71.4875

 The formulas applied to calculate above are correct.

Compare the allowable pressure (𝑃𝑎 ) and external pressure (𝑃𝑒 )we see that 𝑃𝑎 =
