Compare calculators
Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.
Mechanical
Pressure Vessel Calculator
Compute the minimum required wall thickness for a thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessel per the ASME hoop-stress formula, including a corrosion allowance. Used by mechanical and process engineers during vessel design and code compliance checks.

Mechanical
Friction Force Calculator
Calculates the friction force resisting relative motion between two surfaces from the normal force and the coefficient of friction. Use it in braking, clamping, or sliding contact design problems.
