Spherical Hoop Stress Thin-wall Section Formula

\(\large{ \sigma_h = \frac{ p \; r }{ 2 \; t } }\)     (Spherical Hoop Stress Thin-wall Section)

\(\large{ p = \frac{ \sigma_h \; 2 \; t }{ r } }\) 

\(\large{ r = \frac{ \sigma_h \; 2 \; t }{ p } }\) 

\(\large{ t = \frac{ p \; r }{ \sigma_h \; 2 } }\)

 Symbol English Metric
\(\large{ \sigma_h }\)  (Greek symbol sigma) = spherical hoop stress \(\large{\frac{lbf}{in^2}}\) \(\large{Pa}\)
\(\large{ p }\) = pressure \(\large{\frac{lbf}{in^2}}\) \(\large{Pa}\)
\(\large{ r }\) = radius \(\large{ in }\) \(\large{ mm }\)
\(\large{ t }\) = wall thickness \(\large{ in }\) \(\large{ mm }\)
