This page provides a listing of engineering reference data that is commonly found in reference books. As a mechanical engineer, I have found that the World Wide Web is a wonderful way to communicate standards to many people in a way that can be efficient and valuable. I am attempting to start something good with this page and look forward to your comments. Additional links to web pages of interest to engineers preceed the data table links.
Please Note:
This data must be used with proper dilligence and care. Verification of results by
independent means is essential for any design that can imperil life or property using the
information provided in this database. Liability for damages resulting from activities
using this data rest completely with the user who assumes all risk.
NEW - A powerful unit converter, capable of combining units, is available for download. Go to T500 for a description.
