3.
The difference in the reservoir level and the lowest point of the water mains is 180 m. The expected pressure due to water hammer is 7.5 kg/cm2 in a pressure conduit of diameter 1 m. Assuming the efficiency of the riveted joints of the pipe as 0.6 and minimum cover 3 mm for corrosion, the thickness of the pipe materials, is
10 mm
15 mm
20 mm
25 mm
30 mm.

@Gubendhiran.

Your solution is correct apart from a few errors.

1. It's a steel pipe not a CI pipe in question and we know for steel pipe f=122600 KN/m2. {What you've given i.e. 1260 is its value in kg/cm2} (given in various textbooks esp SK Garg).

2. After calculation, it will be EXACTLY 17 mm. Add 3mm for corrosion and answer =20mm. So, option C is correct.

t=[(PD)/(2f£)]+3mm
P=internal pressure=static head pressure(Ps) + water hammer pressure(Ph)
Ps=static head *9.81=___kN/m2
Ph=directly given=___kN/m2
f=permissible tensile stress of pipe materials
f=CI Pipe=77000 kN/m2
f=steel pipe=126000 kN/m2
£=efficiency of joint.
Welded=0.9 ; Double rivited=0.75;
Single rivited=0.63
3mm=allowance for correction
Ps=180*9.81=1765.8kN/m3
Ph=7.5*9.81*100*100=735.75kN/m2
P=1765.8+735.75=2501.55kN/m2
t=[(2501.55*1)/(2*77000*0.6)]+3mm
t=0.02707m+3mm
t=27+3
t=30mm.
So answer E is correct.
