11. A pipe carrying steam at 3.5 MPa has an outside diameter of 450 mm and a wall
thickness of 10 mm. A gasket is inserted between the flange at one end of the pipe and a
flat plate used to cap the end. How many 40-mm-diameter bolts must be used to hold the
cap on if the allowable stress in the bolts is 80 MPa, of which 55 MPa is the initial stress?
 What circumferential stress is developed in the pipe? Why is it necessary to tighten the
bolt initially, and what will happen if the steam pressure should cause the stress in the
bolts to be twice the value of the initial stress?

a) 20 bolts, 28.7 MPa

b) 17 bolts, 75.3 MPa
c) 15 bolts, 86.3 MPa
d) 17 bolts, 65.4 MPa
