For the pressure vessel defined in the problem specified

Chapter 8, Problem 8.41

(choose chapter or problem)

For the pressure vessel defined in the problem specified in the table, redesign the bolt specifications to satisfy all of the following requirements. Use coarse-thread bolts selecting a class from Table 811 for Probs. 841 and 843, or a grade from Table 89 for Probs. 842 and 844. To ensure adequate gasket sealing around the bolt circle, use enough bolts to provide a maximum center-to-center distance between bolts of four bolt diameters. Obtain a joint stiffness constant C between 0.2 and 0.3 to ensure most of the pressure load is carried by the members. The bolts may be reused, so the yielding factor of safety should be at least 1.1. The overload factor and the joint separation factor should allow for the pressure to exceed the expected pressure by 15 percent.
