Hoop stress (circumferential stress) σh = PD/(2t) acts around the circumference of a cylindrical pressure vessel. It is twice the longitudinal stress and is the primary design stress for thin-wall vessels.

What is the thin-wall assumption?

The thin-wall assumption applies when D/t > 20 (or t < D/20). In this case, stress is approximately uniform through the wall thickness. For thick-wall vessels (D/t < 20), use Lamé equations.

Why is hoop stress twice longitudinal stress?

Due to geometry: the circumferential direction has twice the effective area ratio compared to the longitudinal direction. This is why cylindrical vessels typically fail along a longitudinal seam (perpendicular to hoop stress).

What is von Mises stress in a pressure vessel?

For a biaxial stress state (σh, σl), von Mises stress σ_vm = √(σh² - σh·σl + σl²). For thin-wall vessels, σ_vm = σh·√(3)/2 ≈ 0.866·σh. This is used with yield criteria.

What codes govern pressure vessel design?

ASME BPVC Section VIII (USA), EN 13445 (Europe), PD 5500 (UK), AS 1210 (Australia). These codes include safety factors, weld efficiency, corrosion allowance, and material-specific rules beyond simple thin-wall formulas.
