Alex, I think the numbers are out of range for the scope of the cell.
The spreadsheet needs to be tweaked a bit. I'm going to work on it.
If you're familiar with Excel try working with the cell range. If you do, I would
setup a dummy sheet to rework it and keep the original intact.
Which brings up a question.
You have the pipe at 10.75 inches OD and I.D. of 9.49 inches which
brings the thickness at 1.26 inches. Is this a stock pipe? Or 2 pipes,
one fitted inside the other?
Is this a containment vessel that will sit outside a hull? [ like a thruster
cowling, duct, sensor or camera case ? ]

No problem. This is helping me, too. I figured it was time for me to
start thinking pSub and getting things on paper instead of just talking
and wishing. I need to get my brain and hands working!
Thanks, --Steve
