For the purposes of calculating stress in thin-walled pressure vessels, what is gage pressure?
Added by Julie S.
Step 1
It is obtained by subtracting atmospheric pressure from the absolute pressure: P_g = P_abs − P_atm. Show more…

A spherical gas container having an outer diameter of $15 \mathrm{ft}$ and a wall thickness of 0.90 in. is made of steel for which $E=29 \times 10^{6}$ psi and $v=0.29 .$ Knowing that the gage pressure in the container is increased from zero to 250 psi, determine ( $a$ ) the maximum normal stress in the container, (b) the corresponding increase in the diameter of the containcr.

A spherical pressure vessel has an outer diameter of $3 \mathrm{m}$ and a wall thickness of $12 \mathrm{mm}$. Knowing that for the steel used $\sigma_{\mathrm{all}}=80 \mathrm{MPa}, E=200 \mathrm{GPa},$ and $\nu=0.29,$ determine $(a)$ the allowable gage pressure, ( $b$ ) the corresponding increase in the diameter of the vessel.

Strain gauge $b$ is attached to the surface of the gas $\operatorname{tank}$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with $x$ axis as shown. When the tank is pressurized, the strain gauge gives a reading of $\epsilon_{b}=250\left(10^{-6}\right) .$ Determine the pressure in the tank.The tank has an inner diameter of $1.5 \mathrm{m}$ and wall thickness of $25 \mathrm{mm}$. It is made of steel having a modulus of elasticity $E=200$ GPa and Poisson's ratio $\nu=\frac{1}{3}$.
