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
