Click For Summary
The discussion centers on flange coupling design, referencing Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design as a key source. Participants seek clarification on safety factors related to failure costs and inquire about available design tables or codes. There is confusion regarding the specific type of flange being discussed, whether for pipe junctions or drive shaft couplings. Additionally, questions arise about relevant text sections and considerations for shock or impulse factors in the design. The conversation highlights the need for precise information and resources in mechanical design.

TL;DR
Our teacher finned me 30 point for assuming a safety factor2.5for flange design, is it ok to assume a safety factor?
Our source book is shiegly if somone answer i hope he give me yhe source of his infortmation

Welcome to PF.

The safety factor may increase with the cost of a failure.
Are there code or design tables available, where ?

I assume 'shiegly' is;
Shigley's. Mechanical Engineering Design. 10th Edition. 2015.
By Richard G. Budynas and J. Keith Nisbett.

Do you refer to a flange for a pipe junction, a drive shaft coupling, RSJ, or something else ?
What part of the text covers the subject.
 
Is there a shock / impulse / snatch factor to consider ??
 

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
