What is Longitudinal Stress?
Longitudinal stress refers to the stress that acts parallel to the longitudinal axis of a structure, typically a cylindrical or tubular object like a pressure vessel. In the context of a pressure vessel, it is the stress acting along the length of the vessel, following the direction of the vessel's axis. This stress is caused by the internal pressure within the vessel and is one of the key stresses that engineers consider during the design and analysis of pressure vessels. In a cylindrical pressure vessel, longitudinal stress is typically highest along the wall of the vessel and is calculated using formulas that take into account parameters like the internal pressure, vessel radius, and wall thickness. The goal of these calculations is to ensure that the vessel's wall can withstand the longitudinal stress without exceeding the allowable stress limit for the chosen material, as specified by relevant design codes and standards.
How to Calculate Internal Presure of Vessel given Longitudinal Stress?
Internal Presure of Vessel given Longitudinal Stress calculator uses Internal Pressure given Longitudinal Stress = (4*Longitudinal Stress*Thickness of Cylindrical Shell)/(Mean Diameter of Shell) to calculate the Internal Pressure given Longitudinal Stress, The Internal Presure of Vessel given Longitudinal Stress refers to the pressure exerted by the contents of the vessel, which is calculated to ensure that the vessel can withstand a specified longitudinal stress without compromising its structural integrity. Internal Pressure given Longitudinal Stress is denoted by PLS symbol.
