I am looking to find the maximum psi or atm capacity of a tungsten tube of 99.9% tungsten. How would I do this?
The formula for calculating the pressure capacity of a tungsten tube is P = (2 * σ * t) / r, where P is the pressure capacity, σ is the yield strength of tungsten, t is the thickness of the tube, and r is the radius of the tube.
The yield strength of tungsten can be found in material data sheets or by conducting experiments. It is a measure of the maximum stress the material can withstand before deforming permanently.
No, the maximum pressure capacity of a tungsten tube can vary depending on its dimensions, material properties, and manufacturing process. It is important to calculate the pressure capacity for each specific tube.
Yes, the pressure capacity of a tungsten tube can be increased by increasing its thickness or decreasing its radius. However, these changes may also affect other properties of the tube, so it is important to carefully consider the trade-offs.
Yes, it is important to ensure that the tube is properly installed and secured to avoid any potential accidents or failures. It is also recommended to regularly inspect the tube for any signs of damage or wear that could affect its pressure capacity.
