A steam boiler is to have a 300-mm-diameter hand hole placed on one end. If the maximum internal pressure is to be 1,3 MPa, how many 15-mm bolts will be required to keep the cover plate in position? The root diameter of a 15-mm bolt is 12 mm. The allowable tensile stress in the bolts is 100 MPa and the initial stress in the bolts when they are tightened is 60 MPa.
