AI Thread Summary
For creating an interference fit for bushings in aluminum tubes, specifically with a 1 1/2 inch outside diameter and 30mm outside diameter bushings, reference to standard tables in the Machinery's Handbook is recommended. The Handbook provides essential calculations and guidelines for determining the appropriate receiving hole diameter. Users unfamiliar with engineering resources may benefit from acquiring the Handbook and supplementary guides. This approach ensures accurate fitting and optimal performance of the bushings. Utilizing established engineering references is crucial for successful interference fit applications.

Hi. I have aluminium tube (Alloy 6063T6 ) 1 1/2 inch outside diameter 1/4wt. I need to turn inside of this tube to take a 30mm outside diameter suspension bush interference fit . Is there a standard calculation for the diameter of 'receiving' holes for interference fit bushes?

Check your Machinery's Handbook. Many pages of standard tables.
 
Thanks for the advice. I'm not a mechanical engineer so I did not know the Machinery's Handbook even existed! I have ordered a used one as well as a guide to using it.
Cheers,
Bob
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
