Stress in a Steam Boiler Shell from Boiler Pressure
Calculate the stress in in a steam boiler shell from pressure
Sponsored Links
The stress in a steam boiler shell can be calculated as
σ = P D / 2 t (1)
where
σ = Hoop stress (N/m2)
P = boiler pressure (N/m2)
D = diameter of boiler shell (m)
t = thickness of boiler shell (m)
