To find the capacity of a tank in gallons: (all measurements must be reduced to inches)  

For cylindrical tanks :

  multiply the length of the square of the diameter by .7854 and divide by 231

For rectangular tanks :

  multiply the length by the width by the depth and divide by 231

    A gallon of water (US Standard) weighs eight and one-third (8 1/3) pounds and contains 231 inches.
     
To find the maximum internal working pressure of tubular products using Barlow's formula?
P-(2St)/D
Where:
P= Bursting Strength
S= Ultimate strength (tensile) of the tube materials.
t= Tube wall thickness in inches.
D= Outside diameter of tube in inches
 
Divide P as computed above by the safety factor usually used to determine the maximum safe internal working pressure. The safety factor to be used is normally determined by the operating condition.
 
Operating Conditions Factor of Safety
Steady, gradually increasing pressure 4
Sudden change (0 to Max) in pressure 5
Vehement pulsations 6
   
A standard horsepower is the evaporation of 30 pounds of water per hour from a feed-water temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit into steam at 70 pounds gauge pressure.
 
To find the pressure in pounds per square inch of column of water:   To ascertain the heating surface in tubular boilers:

Multiply the height of the column in feet by .434    Doubling the diameter of a pipe, increases it's capacity four times.

 

Multiply 2/3 the circumference of the boiler by length of boiler in inches and add it to the area of all tubes.
