A safety valve, 40 mm in diameter, is to blow off at a pressure of 1.2 MPa. It is held on its seat by means of a helical compression spring, with initial compression of 20 mm. The maximum lift of the valve is 12 mm. The spring index is 6. The spring is made of cold drawn steel wire with ultimate tensile strength of 1400 N /mm2. The permissible shear stress can be taken as 50% of this strength. (G = 81370 N/mm2). Design the spring.
