Question: Design the longitudinal and circumferential joint for a boiler whose diameter is 2 . 4 m and is subjected to a pressure of 1 2

Design the longitudinal and circumferential joint for a boiler whose diameter is 2.4 m and is
subjected to a pressure of 1
2 N mm
. The longitudinal joint is a triple riveted butt joint with an
efficiency of about 85% and the circumferential joint is a double riveted lap joint with an efficiency
of about 70%. The pitch in the outer rows of the rivets is to be double than in the inner rows and the
widths of the cover plates are unequal. The allowable stresses are:
t
77
MPa,
56 MPa and
c
120 MPa. Draw the complete joint.
