Quick Overview

Download this complete IBR design calculations PDF with formulas, stress values, nozzle sizing, tube thickness, and pressure evaluations.

Description
This detailed PDF presents a complete set of IBR-compliant boiler design calculations, covering every major component such as shells, heads, nozzles, tubesheets, and boiler tubes. It is prepared entirely as per Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR 1950) along with ASME Section II, Part D references, making it an indispensable document for boiler designers, mechanical engineers, inspection authorities, and fabrication companies.

The document provides full design pressure, design temperature, allowable stress values, material selection, and corrosion allowance computations. Materials such as SA-387 Gr.11 Cl.2, SA-213 T11, SA-182 F11, and SA-336 F11 are analyzed with yield stress (Et), room temperature stress (Ea), creep strength (SR), rupture strength (Sd), and allowable stress (Sc) values. The calculations follow IBR Regulations 271, 277, 350, 366, 571, 579, and 580, giving readers confidence in full regulatory compliance.

Shell design calculations include formulas for maximum working pressure, thickness verification, and hydrotest pressure evaluation. The PDF provides detailed numerical examples, showcasing step-by-step evaluations of internal pressure, diameter corrections, efficiency factors, and corroded thickness. The head design section covers hemispherical and dished heads using IBR 277 with complete pressure–stress relations.

The nozzle design calculations include sizing, outside diameter checks, minimum required thickness, corrosion allowances, and pressure ratio evaluations, referencing IBR 350 (Eqn. 91). Each nozzle is assessed for actual vs. required thickness to confirm safety under design conditions.

Tube thickness calculations are provided for tubes subjected to internal and external pressure, following IBR 579(d) and 579(b). The document clearly outlines the determination of minimum required thickness (e1, e2, e3), comparison with actual thickness, and verification against allowable stresses.

A thorough tubesheet evaluation is included under Regulation 580, covering ligament efficiency, pitch, minimum cross-sectional area, and required thickness. Step-by-step examples demonstrate the safety margin between required and provided ligament thickness, making the document valuable for heat exchanger and boiler drum designers.

This PDF is particularly beneficial for engineers preparing design dossiers, performing regulatory submissions, or validating fabrication drawings. With clear equations, numerical examples, allowable stress charts, and compliance checks, it serves as a complete reference for IBR design calculations. Download this document to access a structured, engineer-friendly, and regulation-verified guide to boiler pressure part design according to Indian Boiler Regulations.
