This is my mechanical engineers reference site.  Please feel free to visit. The site includes various tables and notes which are (I hope) useful to engineers.   The site also includes links to a wide variety of other web sites associated with mechanical engineering.   I have created this site to provide easy access to relevant useful information on the World Wide Web.

I have been using the internet for a number of years and my main conclusion is that when you want information - you generally want it quickly and conveniently.    I have generally found it easier to find the information by routing through reference books and catalogues than using the internet. This site attempts to remedy this problem.

It is important to note that Standards, Regulations, Codes, Reference Books and suppliers literature are essential design tools which must be used in preference to information obtained from my website.  The most important information I provide are lists of relevant standards, links to other sources of information, and lists of books.

In my opinion any UK company involved in engineering should have direct access to the current BS's using BS online.

Disclaimer

I have typed in all of the tabled information and I have checked this information. However I cannot guarantee that the information is correct. You are strongly advised validate any information using relevant codes, standards and using suppliers specifications. I have tried to include links & references sufficient to enable any user of this site to contact very reliable sources of information

Guidance Notes

This site is intended to be mainly UK based (ISO metric)

• If you require time/calendar information use the time link.
• The Calculator is a Web based scientific calculator.
• The diary link includes UK Holidays ,Week Numbers, International info
• The General Reference links include Dictionaries, Search Engines, Encyclopedias, Telephone Directories, Street Maps etc. etc.

• The Various tables indicated are self describing.
