The derived formulas here are exclusively for cylindrical and spherical thin-walled pressure vessels. In practical applications, thin-walled tanks do not always follow this configuration. As such, it is important to equip oneself with the nature of the derivation of the formulas above that utilize the concept of simple stresses (axial).
