Spherical Pressure Vessels Shell structures: When pressure vessels have walls that are thin in comparison to their radii and length. In the case of thin walled pressure vessels of spherical shape the ratio of radius r to wall thickness t is greater than 10. A sphere is the theoretical ideal shape for a vessel that resists internal pressure.
