    Thermal Expansion

    The circumference of a vessel can be expressed as

    C1 = π d1 

    =3.14*1971=6192mm

    Where 

    C1 = initial circumference (mm)

    d1 = initial diameter (mm)

    The change in circumference due to temperature change can be expressed as

    dc = c2 – c1

    where

    dc = change in circumference (mm)

    c2 = final circumference (mm)

    dt = temperature change (oC)

    α = linear expansion coefficient (mm/mm/oC)

    α value at 465 oC=18.4x10-6 mm/mm/oC as pertable TE-1 of ASME SEC.II Part D

    dt = (465-20 oC)=445 oC

    The final circumference can be expressed as 

    C2 = π d2

    Where 

    d2 = final diameter (mm)

    d2 = d1 (dt α + 1)      

    =1971(1+0.0000184x445)

    =1987.1mm

    Expansion in diameter = 1987.1-1971=16mm

    Radial expansion for one side =16/2=~8mm ( Consider as 10mm)

    So width of slotted hole= Bolt dia +2 x Radial Expansion

    =36+2x10

    =56mm
