The elliptical pipe carrying steam at 3.5 mPa has an outer major axis length of 500 mm and an outer minor axis length of 400 mm with a wall thickness of 10 mm. A gasket is inserted between the flange at end of the pipe , and a flat plate is attached using 40 mm diameter bolts to cap the end . The allowable Stress in the bolts is 80 Mpa. How many bolts must be used to hold the cap if there is an initial stress of 30 mPa ?

Transcribed Image Text:The elliptical pipe carrying steam at 3.5 MPa
has an outer major axis length of 500 mm and
an outer minor axis length of 400 mm with a
wall thickness of 10 mm. A gasket is inserted
at one end of the pipe,
between the flange at one end
and a flat plate is attached using 40-mm
diameter bolts to cap the end. The allowable
Stress in the bolts is 80 MPa. How many
bolts must be used to hold the cap if
there is an initial stress of 30 MPa ?
