    Factors of Safety

    Uploaded by

    Factors of safety (FOS) are used in engineering design to evaluate the safety of mechanical elements with minimum dimensions. Typical FOS range from 1.5-2.5 for aircraft components to 20 for cast-iron wheels. FOS depend on the material reliability and loading/environmental conditions, with less reliable materials or more severe conditions requiring higher FOS. General recommendations suggest FOS of 1.3-1.5 for reliable materials under non-severe conditions, increasing up to 3-4 for less reliable materials or difficult loading scenarios. Statutory items like cranes and pressure vessels have specified FOS in design codes.

    Factors of Safety - FOS - are a part of engineering design.

    Typical overall Factors of Safety are


    indicated below:

    Factor of Safety
    Equipment - FOS -
    Aircraft components 1.5 - 2.5
    Boilers 3.5 - 6
    Bolts 8.5
    Cast-iron wheels 20
    Engine components 6-8
    Heavy duty shafting 10 - 12
    Lifting equipment - hooks .. 8-9
    Pressure vessels 3.5 - 6
    Turbine components - static 6-8
    Turbine components - rotating 2-3
    Spring, large heavy-duty 4.5
    Structural steelwork in buildings 4-6
    Structural steelwork in bridges 5-7
    Wire ropes 8-9
    Design Factors of Safety are often published in technical standards but there is no dedicated
    standard to the subject.

    Note that for statutory items such as cranes and pressure vessels FOS are specified in the
    design codes.

    General recommendations
    Factor of
    Applications Safety
    - FOS -
    For use with highly reliable materials where loading and environmental
    1.3 - 1.5
    conditions are not severe and where weight is an important consideration
    For use with reliable materials where loading and environmental conditions
    1.5 - 2
    are not severe
    For use with ordinary materials where loading and environmental conditions
    2 - 2.5
    are not severe
    For use with less tried and for brittle materials where loading and
    2.5 - 3
    environmental conditions are not severe
    For use with materials where properties are not reliable and where loading
    and environmental conditions are not severe, or where reliable materials 3-4
    are used under difficult and environmental conditions

    Faktor Keamanan(Safety Factor) Dalam Perancangan Elemen Mesin

    Faktor Keamanan (Safety factor) adalah faktor yang digunakan untuk méngevaluasi agar
    perencanaan elemen mesin terjamin keamanannya dengan dimensi yang minimum
    Joseph P Vidosic (“ Machine Design Projects”)
    -> Faktor Keamanan/ Safety Factor (sf) berdasarkan tegangan luluh adalah

    • sf = 1,25 – 1,5 : kondisi terkontrol dan tegangan yang bekerja dapat ditentukan dengan pasti

    • sf = 1,5 – 2,0 : bahan yang sudah diketahui, kondisi lingkungan beban dan tegangan yang tetap
    dan dapat ditentukan dengan mudah.

    • sf = 2,0 – 2,5 : bahan yang beroperasi secara rata-rata dengan batasan beban yang diketahui.

    • sf = 2,5 – 3,0 : bahan yang diketahui tanpa mengalami tes. Pada kondisi beban dan tegangan
    rata-rata.

    • sf = 3,0 – 4,5 : bahan yang sudah diketahui. Kondisi beban, tegangan dan lingkungan yang
    tidak pasti.

    • Beban berulang : Nomor 1 s/d 5

    • Beban kejut : Nomor 3 – 5

    • Bahan Getas : Nomor 2 – 5 dikalikan dengan 2

    Dobrovolsky (“Machine element”)


    -> Faktor Keamanan/ Safety Factor berdasarkan jenis beban adalah :

    • Beban Statis : 1,25 – 2

    • Beban Dinamis : 2 – 3

    • Beban Kejut : 3 – 5
