Hi,

I am using caesar version 5.3 for calculation purpose.

In some files I have seen that hoop stress has been calclutaed taking in to consideration mill tolerance & corrosion allowance values keyed in.

But in some files hoop stress has been calculated only based on wall thickness entered AND mill tolerance & corrosion allowances have not been considered even though values have been specified.

I am confused with this calculation methodology for hoop stress.

can anyone guide me on this topic?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Kaustubh
