Question for anyone using efunda.com

Hello All,

If there is anyone (and I know your out there) that uses efunda for finding
material props for thier SW material DB's.

Could someone explain to my how to get N/in^2 from N/m^2?
Or do you convert from something else and what?
I have a great little program called Convert, but it doesn't have anything
to do with Newtons that I could find.
What I'm actually looking for is the Material properties for Acetel and/or
Delrin.

TIA,
Muggs

 

Hi Muggs,
Best point to go for materials info is www.matweb.com
To convert from N/in^2 to N/^m2 you'd divide by 1550 (roughly) just on
a units conversion.
(1550 square inches in 1 square m)

As always, Google is king. Simply enter something like this in the
Google seach box:

14.7lb/in^2 = ? N/m^2

and you get something like this in return:

14.7 (lb / (in^2)) = 101 352.932 N / (m^2)

So in your case it would be:

x.xxN/m^2 = ? N/in^2

NO STINKING WAY!!! That's awesome!

Thanks Jim,

Just who is this stupid @$$hole who spec'd something in N/in^2 in the
first place?

 

Thank you Tick,

I wasn't going to go there because I thought maybe it's a standard
measurement that I was unaware of, but that's exactly what I was thinking.
But I'm thinking SW is making strides because in SW2004 it was in N/m^2.

Hi Muggs,

What you need is one of these:
Calc98 available at http://www.calculator.org
(http://www.flosim.com/fsi/software.html)
or
Versaverter available at http://www.pawprint.net/software/

Thanks Vinodh,
That's very much like what I have. Only much better!!!

Thanks again,
Muggs

 

Hi again,

....just forgot to mention that both of them (Calc98 & Versaverter) can
be
customized so that new units can be added... (and that is what I like
so
much about them)
