A safety valve spring having 9 and V2 coils has the ends squared and ground. The outside diameter of the coil is 115 mm and the wire is 13 mm. It has a free length of 203 mm. The length of which this spring must be initially compressed to hold a boiler pressure of 1.38 MPa on the seat of 32 mm diameter. Modulus of rigidity is taken as G=80GN/m2.

Question
A safety valve spring having 9 and /2 coils has the
ends squared and ground. The outside diameter of the
coil is 115 mm and the wire is 13 mm. It has a free
length of 203 mm. The length of which this spring must
be initially compressed to hold a boiler pressure of 1.38
MPa on the seat of 32 mm diameter. Modulus of
rigidity is taken as G=80GN/m2.
a. Find the spring deflection and the operating length
b. Calculate the solid length and the deflection of solid
length
c. Compute the solid force and the Wahl factor
