    1. The maximum allowable pressure was calculated based on material properties and geometry. Strain gauges were attached and calibrated to measure strain. 2. A hydraulic pump pressurized the system in increments while strain readings were recorded. 3. Calculations determined the maximum safe pressures based on hoop and axial stresses were lower than the test pressure, indicating an adequate safety factor.

    5.

    2 Procedure
    1. The maximum allowable pressure was calculated based on the maximum allowable stress
    2. The strain gauge wires were connected to the strain indicator
    3. The strain indicator was turned on, the gauge factor was set, and each channel of the stain
    indicator was balanced.
    4. The hydraulic pump was turned on and the pressure relief valve was set to the desired
    value.
    5. The maximum pressure was applied in 5 increments and ths strain gauge indicator was
    read along with the corresponding pressure.

    5.3 Analysis
    5.3.1 Maximum allowable stress
    The maximum allowable stress was given as 9000 psi [1]
    The maximum pressure was given as 150 psi

    𝑃𝑚𝑎𝑥 𝑅
    𝜎𝑚𝑎𝑥 =
    𝑡
    Rearranging to solve for Pmax yields
    𝜎 𝑡
    𝑝𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 𝑚𝑎𝑥
    𝑅
    9000𝑝𝑠𝑖 × 0.1046𝑖𝑛
    =
    4.854𝑖𝑛
    = 193.941 𝑝𝑠𝑖 // For hoop stress
    𝜎𝑚𝑎𝑥 ×2𝑡
    𝑝𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 𝑅
    = 387.886 𝑝𝑠𝑖 // for Axial stress

    =
    −𝜈 𝐸
    Combining yields:
