2.1.1 The minimum thickness, t, of a cylindrical shell is to be determined by the following formula:
2.1.2 The formula in Pt 5, Ch 11, 2.1 Minimum thickness 2.1.1 is applicable only where the resulting thickness does not exceed half the internal radius, i.e. where t is not greater than 0,5 Ri.
2.1.3 Irrespective of the thickness determined by the formula in Pt 5, Ch 11, 2.1 Minimum thickness 2.1.1, t is to be not less than mm, where D i is as defined in Pt 5, Ch 11, 1.2 Definition of symbols. The minimum thickness permitted for vessels manufactured in corrosion resistant steels will be the subject of special consideration.
