A steel cylindrical air receiver with 5 feet diameter and pressure load of 180 psi, design stress of 9500 psi maximum. The pressure vessel is to be provided with a 1.5 in diameter drain valve installed at the bottom of the vessel and a safety pressure relief valve is installed either at the topmost or at the side with a pop-out rating of 200 psi. Assume a 100% weld joint efficiency. The lap welding tensile strength is 65,000 psi. Determine the bursting pressure of this air receiver.
