11. A cylindrical shell of 2.5m internal diameter is subjected to an operating pressure of
0.75MPa. The allowable stress for the plate material is 133.33 N/mm2 and the corrosion
allowance is 3 mm. If the weld joint efficiency factor is 0.85 and tori-spherical heads, each
with a crown radius of 2 m, are used as end closure. Determine the thickness of the
cylindrical shell and the tori- spherical head
12. What is the function of gasket? Where do we use it?
