All the forces are in pounds. The hitch will be rated at a weight representing the maximum allowable towable weight, 12,000 lb for your case. I do not know of any site with this standard available. We have the three volume set of SAE standards which covers just about everything you...
Hi,
The following equations are from SAE standard J684, regarding testing of the receiver tube, which ties into your beam.
1. V = .47R + 480
L = .47R + 480
2. L = -(.23R + 1530)
V = .15R
3. L = .23R + 1530
V = .15R
4. T = .20R + 500
Where V is the vertical force, positive in...
Hi,
I am looking for a formula that will calculate the bend allowance for stainless steel, types 304 & 409, so we can accurately lay out the flat pattern for our desired bend detail. We are using brake presses with a V-die for the bottom die and a radius punch for the top. Typical material...
