Compute the allowable stress developed in the walls of the steel tank as well as the change in diameter due to the internal pressure. The outer diameter is 500 mm and the internal diameter 490 mm. The tank is subjected to an internal gauge pressure of 14.2 MPa. A factor of safety FOS = 6 is to be used in the design.

A thin-walled steel tank has an outside diameter of 600 mm and a length of 3 m. It is subjected to an internal pressure of 2 MPa. What is the minimum thickness of the tank if the allowable design stress is 75 MPa? If the thickness of the tank is 8 mm, determine the circumferential stress in the tank.
