hi guys,
Could any of you help me with calcs for FOS for pad eye. how do you calculate the area of tension to get FOS.

Thanks in advance
 
I'm drawing a blank here - FOS?
 
The 13th Edition AISC steel deign manual has a small section in the commentary addressing pad eye design (structural steel only). OSHA also specifies the minimum factor of safety for certain conditions with connections carrying people, etc...

Hope this helps.
 
webhelp82, ASME BTH-1 addreses design of lifting equipment and will doubtless answer your question.

Available from ASME, fairly modest cost.

Regards,

Mike
