• A vessel is designed for an internal pressure 100
kgf/cm2. A spiral wound metal, fibre stainless steel
gasket with inside diameter 36 cm and width 2.0 cm is
used.
• Gasket factor is 3.0, while gasket seating stress is 675
kgf/cm2. Permissible stress for bolt material at
atmospheric and operating condition is 1300 kgf/cm2.
• Calculate:
• i) Check whether the gasket width is sufficient to keep it away from
crushing out?
• ii) flange thickness
• P = 2.5 kgf/cm2 = 2.5 x 1.1 = 2.75 x 9.81/10–4 = 2.69x105

• Gi = 1.485m
• Di = 1.47m; t = 5mm;
• m = 2; y = 120 x 9.81/10–4 = 1.18x107N/m2
• fa = 600 x 9.81/10–4 = 5.89x107 N/m2
• fb = 550 x 9.81/10–4 = 5.39x107 N/m2
• fflange = 1060 x 9.81/10–4 = 1.04x108 N/m2

• A cylindrical shell with 1200 mm OD (Stainless
steel), internal pressure of 0.3 N/mm2 has to be
fitted to a shallow dished end with a flange
(Carbon steel, f = 95 N/mm2). A flat gasket can be
chosen with 1200 mm ID and 1240 mm OD. The
m & y are 2 & 11.2 N/mm2 respectively.
• No. of bolts = 48 & Bolt dia 18 mm (f = 54.5
N/mm2)
• Verify, whether the gasket width is okay or not.
• Determine the flange thickness.
• A vessel is made up of stainless steel for which the flange may be selected from IS
4868, minimum shell thickness of 6mm, the details of the flange and bolts are as
follows:
• Shell outside diameter – 1200 mm
• Design pressure = 1.5 MN/m2
• Design temperature = 150 °C
• Narrow face flange, Allowable stress of the flange material: 138 MN/m2
• Number of bolts: 48, 18mm dia, bolt material 1% Cr Mo Steel, Allowable stress at
atmospheric and operating condition are 19.68 & 17.8 kgf/mm2
• Gasket – asbestos, m = 2.75; y = 25.5 N/mm2
• For initial guess, assume gasket inner dia = shell OD + 10mm
• Determine the following:
• Diameter at the location of gasket load reaction
• Bolt loads
• Minimum bolt area and actual bolt area
• Thickness of the flange
From Brown young example problem
• A ring type flange with a plain face for a heat exchanger shell has to be designed to
the following specifications:
• Design pressure = 150 psi
• Design temp = 300° F
• Flange material = ASTM A-201, Grade B (Allowable stress = 15000 psi)
• Bolting steel = ASTM A-193 ,Grade B7 (Allowable stress = 20000 psi)
• Shell thickness = 3/8“
• Shell ID = 30 ¼ “
• Gasket material = Asbestos composition ( m = 2.75; y = 37 N/mm2)
• For initial guess, assume gasket inner dia = shell OD + 10mm
