Thickness of Pipe given Critical External Pressure Formula Elements

Variables
Thickness of Pipe
Thickness of Pipe is the smaller dimension of pipe. It is the distance between the inner and outer or front and back surfaces of the pipe.
Symbol: tpipe
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Critical Pressure
Critical Pressure is the maximum pressure developed in the pipe that will cause it's buckling in absence of stiffening rings.
Symbol: Pcr
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Modulus of Elasticity
Modulus of Elasticity is a quantity that measures an object or substance's resistance to being deformed elastically when stress is applied to it in pascal.
Symbol: Epa
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Diameter of Pipe
Diameter of Pipe is the diameter of the pipe in which the liquid is flowing.
Symbol: Dpipe
Measurement: LengthUnit: m

How to Evaluate Thickness of Pipe given Critical External Pressure?

Thickness of Pipe given Critical External Pressure evaluator uses Thickness of Pipe = Critical Pressure/((5*Modulus of Elasticity)/(3*Diameter of Pipe))^(1/3) to evaluate the Thickness of Pipe, The Thickness of Pipe given Critical External Pressure is defined as the minimum wall thickness required for a pipe to withstand the external pressure exerted on it without collapsing or failing. Critical external pressure is the maximum pressure that the pipe can endure from the outside environment, such as soil or water, before it buckles or deforms. Thickness of Pipe is denoted by tpipe symbol.

How to evaluate Thickness of Pipe given Critical External Pressure using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Thickness of Pipe given Critical External Pressure, enter Critical Pressure (Pcr), Modulus of Elasticity (Epa) & Diameter of Pipe (Dpipe) and hit the calculate button.
