What if it is 1/10?

Thin or thick? Please explain.

Less than 1/10 is called a thin vessel, more than 1/10 is called a thick vessel, equal to 1/10 is called a medium vessel.

@Balu according to you if 1/10 is a thin cylinder than the answer to the question is true?

If radius by thickness ratio must be equal to 10 then it is considered as a Thin vessel.

It's considered as thick cylinder.

THIN SHELL pressure vessel - LESS THEN 1/10.
THICK SHELL pressure vessel - MORE THEN 1/10.

So what about an 1/10? Thin or thick?

If less than 1/10, thin shell and if more than 1/10, than thick shell.
