(a) The wall thickness, after forming of the inner container shell and 2:1 ellipsoidal heads must be not less than specified in §179.221-1, or not less than that calculated by the following formula:
 |
| where: d = Inside diameter in inches; E = 0.9 welded joint efficiency; except E = 1.0 seamless heads; P = Minimum required bursting pressure in psig; S = Minimum tensile strength of plate material in psi as prescribed in AAR Specifications for Tank Cars, appendix M, Table M1 (IBR, see §171.7 of this subchapter); t = Minimum thickness of plate in inches after forming. |
(b) The wall thickness after forming of the inner container heads, if flanged and dished, must be not less than specified in §179.221-1, or not less than that calculated by the following formula:
 |
| where: E = 0.9 welded joint efficiency; except E = 1.0 for seamless heads; L = Main inside radius to which head is dished, measured on concave side in inches; P = Minimum required bursting pressure in psig; S = Minimum tensile strength of plate material in p.s.i. as prescribed in AAR Specifications for Tank Cars, appendix M, Table M1; t = Minimum thickness of plate in inches after forming. |
(c) The wall thickness after forming of the cylindrical section and heads of the outer shell must be not less than seven-sixteenths of an inch.
(d) See §179.220-9 for plate thickness requirements for inner container when divided into compartments.
