Task 3

Choose
6 bolt to fix the flange

The design will be built based on max pressure in the tank

[At the lowest point] for more safety
The flange material is the same as the tank
[Thermo plastic (pE)] with = 3200

=(s.G of coolant ) (Density of water )( 9 / 2 ) (height of tank)
3

(0.94) (62.4) (32.2)*[19.51] = 3684.99 Ib / 2

=255.9 PSI

F (acting on flange) = (based on area of the connection of the pipe)

= 255.9 * 62 =7235.3 Ibs.
4
() 7235.3
F (bolt ) = = = 1205.88 Ibs
6

Let the bolts made of carbon steel with tensile strength = 138
( ) 1205.88
So = , A(bolt) = F(bolt)/ = = 0.0602 2
( ) 20015.21
4
2 (bolt ) = * 0.0602 = 0.077

D(bolt) 0.3 8
Finally for the thickness of the flange (+) I will take as used for the tank because
both are experiencing same pressure ( = 0.358 )

So the outer diameter of the flange can be

D(oD) = 6 +2*0.3 +1( spacing between bolt and pipe) =7.6 8
