23.
According to I.B.R., when the thickness of boiler shell (t) is greater than 8 mm, then the diameter of rivet hole (d) is obtained by
equating tearing resistance of the plate to the shearing resistance of the rivets
equating tearing resistance of the plate to the crushing resistance of the rivets
equating shearing resistance to the crushing resistance of the rivets
none of the above

If t>8, diameter,d= 6 * Squareroot(t).
If t<8, equating shearing resistance to the crushing resistance of the rivets.

We use unwin's formula in this case d=6* square root of t.

@Rahul.

We the above formula only for thickness less than 8 mm.

A.Jay said:   8 years ago
Right @Rahul.

This formula is used for diameter Greater than 8mm.

Deepak said:   7 years ago
Yes, Right @Balu

Refer R.S. Khurmi.

t>8 Unwins theory.
t<8, diameter for largest force.
