I'm redesigning a Female NPT fitting and was wondering if anyone had any info on how to figure out internal stress or how it might be distributed throughout the fitting. Is it all hoop stress, or is there a lot of axial stress from the threads pushing against each other? What is a reasonable estimate for the hoop stress? Any help at all would be appreciated, I can't find much info anywhere.
