Question: Problem - 3 : A cylindrical pressure vessel with 1 m inner diameter is subjected to internal steam pressure of 1 . 0 MPa .

Problem-3: A cylindrical pressure vessel with 1 m inner diameter is subjected to internal steam pressure of 1.0 MPa . The permissible stresses for the cylinder plate and the rivets in tension, shear and compression are 80,60 and 120Nmm2 respectively. The efficiency of longitudinal joint can be taken as 75% for the purpose of calculating the plate thickness. The efficiency of circumferential lap joint should be at least 62%. Design the circumferential lap joint and calculate:
i. Thickness of the plate;
ii. Diameter of the rivets;
iii. Number of rivets;
iv. Pitch of rivets;
v. Number of rows of rivets; and
vi. Overlap of the plates.
Make a neat sketch of the joint showing all calculated values of dimensions.
