68.Watertight & Collision bulkhead

October 12, 2018 Posted by AK No comments

Watertight bulkhead

Divide the ship into different water tight compartments thus restricting the volume of water which will come in if the shell plating damaged.
Also serves to separate  to separate different types of cargoes and divide tank and machinery spaces from cargo space
Also assists in  prevention of spreading  of fire from one part of the ship into another part of the ship
Number of bulkheads depend on length of ship  and position of machinery space.
Stiffeners are fitted at 750 mm apart, but collision bulkhead and deep tanks have 600 mm spacing.

     Collision bulkhead
     Each ship to have one  collision bulkhead located forward.
     Avoids flooding of ship  in case of damage  to bows
     Location is such that  it is not so much forward as to get damaged on impact , Neither it         should be too far aft  so that compartment flooded forward  causes extensive trim  by             head. As a rule located at minimum distance  to get maximum  space for cargo.
     Minimum at 1/20  of ships length  from forward perpendicular
     The collision bulkhead is continuous to upper most continuous deck
     The collision bulkhead is 20%  stronger than other bulkheads
     
     STIFFENER : 180 mm bulb plate thickness spaced 600 mm apart (whr as in normal bulk       heads, its spaced 760 mm apart)

      The stringers 200 mm channel beam used with brackets
