Result
Result of pressure from data sheet (2.068 MPa)

DMX=0.490693
SMN=0.4952
SMX=242.101
Result of pressure from data sheet (1.229 MPa)->Maximum allowable
pressure

DMX=0.276783
SMN=0.277764
SMX=137.987
Comparing Smx with Sm table (138 Mpa)
137.987 Mpa < Sm

Discussion
The material is not good for 2.068 Mpa. Therefore, The material must change to
better one.
