An 8 inch ID steel pipe with a 3/8 inch wall thickness has an allowable stress of 25000 psi. What is the maximum allowable pressure of the fluid in the pipe in psi? If the wall thickness of the pipe is reduced to 1/4 inch, what is the new maximum allowable fluid pressure in psi? What is the factor of safety of the design? Steel has a yield strength of 36000 psi.
