Formula for find out pipe wall thickness

The basic formula for find out pipe wall thickness is the general hoop stress formula for thin-wall cylinders, which is stated as

T = P x D0/2(Hs + P)

Where,

HS = hoop stress in pipe wall, psi,
D0 = outside diameter of pipe, in.
T = pipe wall thickness, in.,
P = internal pressure of the pipe, psi,
