Lifting Equipment FOS
Lifting Equipment FOS
(OP)
I'm designing a lifting bar from material of known yield and UTS, but I'm not sure what Factor of safety to apply.
I known the ANSI/ASME B30.20:1993 states an FOS of 3 based on yield strength, so far I've used this but I need to conform to UK specs.
I know the info I need is probably in BS EN 13155:2003, but I don't fancy paying for it.
help anyone?

You can get access to almost all the UK British Standards on their website for a yearly fee, probably more than the £136 though.

However this is all very much legislation driven, 136 beer vouchers seems a small price to pay.
