240 kg/cm^2.

Then it will be thick cylindrical shell and problem of thick cylindrical shell can be solved by Lame's theory.

@Amar, if the thickness is greater than 1/20*dia, which formula has to be used?

Amar said:   8 years ago
Since the thickness(0.2 cm) is less than 1/20of Dia ie; 1/20*0.6.Hence this problem comes under thin cylinders which can be solved by the formula.

Design of thin cylinders Pd/2t=permissible tensile strength.

Put the values and p=bursting pressure=240kg/cm2.

According to Barlow's formula
Bursting pressure=2 * ultimate tensile strength * wall thickness/outside dia.
P = 2 * s * t/d.
P = 2 * 3600 * 0.2/30,
P = 240.

P = 2*s*t / d.

= 2*3600*0.2/6 = 240.
