The document discusses stresses in boiler shells, specifically double butt strap joints. It explains that double butt strap joints must be the strongest joint in the shell to withstand stresses from internal pressure. The document provides equations to calculate circumferential and longitudinal stresses in thin cylindrical shells based on internal pressure, diameter, thickness, and other factors. It includes diagrams of stresses in longitudinal and circumferential seams.

CHAPTER 1

Stresses in Boiler Shells


Q. Sketch a double butt strap joint for a multi-tubular tank boiler. State why this
must be the strongest joint in the shell.

A. Consider a thin cylindrical shell subjected to an internal pressure. This sets up


stresses in the circumferential and longitudinal axes which can be calculated as
follows:

CIRCUMFERENTIAL STRESS
Longitudinal
seam

Fig. I Stress in the longitudinal seam

If pressure acting upon the circumference is resolved into horizontal components,


the resulting horizontal force = pressure x projected area. This is resisted by the
stresses set up in the longitudinal joint.
Then for equilibrium conditions:
Horizontal forces to left = Horizontal forces to right
Horizontal forces to left = Resisting force in longitudinal joint
Pressure x projected area = Stress x cross sect. area of joint
Press. x dia. x length = Stress x 2 x thickness x length
Pressure x diameter
