DESIGHN A HC SPRING FOR A SPRING LOADED SAPFETY

FOR THE FOLLOWING OPERATING CONDITIONS

Given:
Operating pressure = 10 bar
Diameter of valve seat = 100 mm
Shear stress for spring = 400N/
G=8
The spring is to be kept in casing of 120 mm inner
diameter and 350 mm long. The spring should be at
maximum lift of 6 mm when maximum blow of pressure
is 11 bar .draw a neat sketch of spring index = 4.
Step 1: Determination of spring diameter;
Ks = 4c-1 + 0.615 =1.403

F = *A
Max load
F2 = P2 * A = 11 * 10 * 100 = 8639.3797 N
Min load
F1 = P1*A = 10 *10 *100 = 7853.9816 N
= ks8PC

= 1.403 * 8 * 8639.3797 * 4

D=17.57mm, so

D =18 mm
D = cd = 4 * 18 =72
Step 2: Determination of number of coils and
pitch
Y = 8pc n

6 = 8 * 1 * 10 * 4 * n

n = 22
Assuming plain and ground conditions
Total coils n = 22
Free length lf = pn = 18.3136 * 22 =402.8989 mm
Solid length ls = dn =18 * 22 = 396 mm
lf = ls + max + max
22(p) = 22(18) + 6 + (0.15)6

P= 18.3636 mm
lf = 402.9 mm , ls = 396 mm > 350 mm
