Calculator

Minimum Casing Collapse Pressure

Result Interpretation

Each output is evaluated from the deterministic expression shown above; no approximations are applied.

Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • E = 29500000
  • t = 0.25
  • D_o = 10

Expected Result:

  • out_minimum_casing_collapse_pressure = 0.13576543538546

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from verified test cases.

Formula / Method

Minimum Casing Collapse Pressure: ((((2 * 2.718281828459) * t) / D_o) - ((0.875 * (2.718281828459 * pow(t, 2))) / pow(D_o, 3)))
