Abstract The relations describing the elastic change of volume of thermoplastic cylindrical pressurized containers are presented. Discussions have been made on various cases including isotropic (i.e., un‐oriented), uniaxially, and biaxially oriented materials. These relations are expected to be helpful for selecting the optimum processing conditions (i.e., draw ratio) in order to achieve the desired properties of polymeric pressurized containers.
