In the previous article, we have discussed the riveted Joint, which is a permanent type joint. In this article, we will discuss the different Advantages and Disadvantages of Welded Joints over Riveted Joints. First of all, what is a Welded Joint? Welded Joint A welded joint is a permanent joint. This welded joint can be […]
In Mechanical Engineering, Machine Design is subjected to creating new or Advanced machines. This involves improving the existing machines to better machines.
The design process is a time-consuming process which includes implementing an Idea and considering the commercial and economic aspects, Making the idea into a shape in the form of drawings by keeping the available resources in mind to make the actual Idea into a life.
This is the art of Mechanical engineering.
The Idea Thake shape and eventually come to life

Failure of Riveted Joints
Have you ever seen the Failure of Riveted joints? That’s right. that is one of the ways it fails. There is shear in the Rivets as per the above failure picture. The following image is a sample of the Failure of a Riveted joint due to the tearing of the plate. So, there are different […]
ASME Codes for Piping System
In the previous article, we had an introduction to the piping systems, Piping applications, Piping Material selection, Pipe Joints, Pipe Fittings, and Piping system standards. Among the different Piping standards, One of the most used standard for the piping system is ASME B31. Which regulates the design, material selection, inspection, test and safety of the […]
Introduction to Piping System | What is piping?
After a few requests from my readers, I am finally writing about the introduction to the Piping system. As we all knew, Pipes are used to transporting fluids, slurries, and sometimes even very fine particles. The most common application we see in the piping is Plumbing in our buildings, workplaces, and many places where water […]
What are the different types of Riveted Joints?
What is a Rivet? Well, A Rivet is a permanent fastening element mostly used for fastening light metals of plates in Boiler shells, structural works, Shipbuilding, and bridges. In the previous article, we have discussed the Riveted joint method, Different Rivethead types, and the materials used for the Rivets according to the Indian Standards. In this article, we are […]
What is Caulking and Fullering in Riveted Joint?
In the previous article, we have discussed the Riveted joint method, Rivethead types, and the materials used for the Rivets according to the Indian Standards. In the Riveting methods, it is essential for some applications to make a leak-proof Riveted joint. Those applications are Boilers, air receiver tanks, and ship hulls. In order to achieve […]
What are the types of Rivet Heads according to the Indian Standards?
What is a Rivet? Well, A Rivet is a permanent fastening element mostly used for fastening light metals of plates in Boiler shells, structural works, Shipbuilding, and bridges. In this article, we are going to discuss different types of Rivet Heads according to the Indian Standards. In a permanent joint, Rivet is the fastening element. […]
Methods of Riveting and Material used for Rivets
What is a Rivet? Well, A Rivet is a permanent fastening element mostly used for fastening light metals of plates in Boiler shells, structural works, Shipbuilding, and bridges. In this article, we are going to discuss the methods of Riveting joints and what are the materials that can be used for the Rivets. In a […]
How to design an Oval Flanged Pipe Joint?
The Oval flanged Pipe Joints are mostly used in small pipes with diameters up to 175mm. This Oval Flanged Pipe Joint is mostly used in Hydraulic applications. In the previous article, we have discussed the Circular Flanged Pipe joint. To design an Oval Flanged Pipe Joint we need to determine the main parameters such as […]
How to design a Circular Flanged Pipe Joint?
The circular flange pipe joint is one of the most used flange joints among the other types of flanged joints. To design such a circular flanged joint we have to determine the main influencing factors and evaluate them. In this article, we will determine the main parameters to design a circular flanged joint for a […]
What Pipe Flange should I use based on Steam pressure according to Indian Boiler Regulation?
Is there any regulation that standardised the pipe diameter and thickness for the steam pressure? Yes, there is a regulation in India called the Indian Boiler Regulation, in short IBR which is created in 15th September 1950 to regularise the manufacturing of boilers, steam generators and steam distribution piping systems. For the manufacturers and the […]
What are different Pipe Joints?
In transporting fluids such as water, steam, gases, oil, and chemicals, pipes are used. Designing a pipe with basic parameters such as the diameter and thickness of the pipe is explained in the previous article. While designing these pipes the length can be limited, there must be a way to join them to achieve suitable […]
How to design a Pipe to transfer fluids?
Pipes are used to transporting the fluids such as water, steam, gases, oil and chemicals. So these pipes may undergo internal pressure for some applications and for some not. Many of us wondered about the pipes that we see to transport the fluids that are going to withstand the pressure exerted by the fluid or […]
How to design a Hydraulic Press?
Have you ever wondered how to design a Hydraulic Press?? We use Hydraulic Press for many applications from a manufacturing point of view to compacting. In this article, we will understand how to design a hydraulic press by finding out the necessary parameter such as the diameter of the ram, vertical columns, and Hydraulic cylinder […]
Stresses in Thick Cylindrical Shell
We have already discussed the different types of pressure vessels previously. The thick cylinder is one of the types of Cylindrical shells which is subjected to very high internal pressures for many applications such as Gun Barrels, Hydraulic cylinders, and pipes. In these applications, the wall thickness must be made thick to accommodate the high […]
How to design a Cylinder?
Have you ever wondered how to design a Cylinder?? I mean how the basic parameters such as diameter and thickness are set. We mostly see Cylinders in Internal combustion Engines, Compressors, and Hydraulic pumps. In all these cases the Cylinder will experience internal pressure caused by combustion in engines, air compressed by the piston in […]
Stresses in a Thin Cylindrical Shell
You must have seen heavy vehicles transporting fluids such as water/petroleum or steam boilers in some industrial plants etc. with a cylindrical structure called tanks or Pressure vessels. These Pressure vessels are used to store the fluids under the pressure. Since these fluids are stored under pressure, these may undergo a state of change inside […]

What is Section Modulus?
Section Modulus is also referred to as the Polar Modulus or the Torsional Sectional Modulus. It is denoted by Zp. Along with these, there are two more definitions also there to discuss. So let’s discuss this topic in more detail. (FYI: We discuss this topic more in terms of circular shafts, If you are looking […]
What is a shafts misalignment? |Causes|Effects|
When two equipment (Driver and driven) need to coupled together, then they need to be aligned properly to couple together. Installing the two equipment with 100% alignments is not possible. These misalignments can be accommodated by the special member called coupling. There are two different types of couplings. Flexible couplings and rigid couplings. These coupling […]
