• The cross-sectional area of the cylinder wall is characterized by the product of its wall thickness and the mean circumference.

i.e.,

• For the thin-wall pressure vessels where D >> t, the cylindrical cross-section area may be approximated by pDt.

• Therefore, the longitudinal stress in the cylinder is given by:
