The Inner Diameter of Cylinder given Thickness of Boiler Shell formula is defined as the cross section of it perpendicular to the length (or height) is the portion bounded by two concentric circles. Here, AB is the outer diameter and CD is the inner diameter of the circular cross section is calculated using inner_diameter_of_cylinder = Thickness of Cylinder Wall *2* Permissible Tensile Stress

On the other hand, if the wall thickness of the shell is greater than 1/10 to 1/15 of the diameter of the shell, then it is said to be a thick shell. Thin shells are used in boilers, tanks, and pipes, whereas thick shells are used in high-pressure cylinders, tanks, gun barrels, etc.
