The stress in circumferential direction - hoop stress - at a point in the tube or cylinder wall can be expressed as:

    σc = [(pi ri2 - po ro2) / (ro2 - ri2)] - [ri2 ro2 (po - pi) / (r2 (ro2 - ri2))]

where

  • σc = stress in circumferential direction (MPa, psi)
  • r = radius to point in tube or cylinder wall (mm, in) (ri < r < ro) maximum stress when  r = ri (inside pipe or cylinder)
  • pi = internal pressure in the tube or cylinder (MPa, psi)
  • ri = internal radius of tube or cylinder (mm, in)
  • po = external pressure in the tube or cylinder (MPa, psi)
  • ro=external radius of tube or cylinder (mm, in)
