Mechanical Engineering Calculations, Standards & Schedules – By Example

Practical, step-by-step engineering calculations — with worked examples, quick reference schedules, and standards compliance in one complete guide.

Mechanical engineers, students, and designers often face the same challenge: how to quickly move from theory to application. This book bridges that gap by providing real-world use cases, fully worked calculations, and ready-to-use schedules and reference tables across all major areas of mechanical engineering.

What’s Inside

• Structural Mechanics — beam deflection, column buckling, shaft design

• Machine Elements — bolt sizing, weld design, spring selection

• Thermal & Energy Systems — heat exchangers, boilers, refrigeration loads

• Fluids & HVAC — pump sizing, duct design, compressed air piping

• Manufacturing & Tolerances — GD&T fits, welding distortion control

• Quick Reference — conversion factors, material property tables, standard bolt/pipe/flange sizes, psychrometric & Moody charts

• Appendices — design checklists, PLC programming sample, symbol legends, NFPA code summaries, acronyms

Key Features

• Use Case → Steps → Schedule → Standards format for every chapter

• Worked examples with calculations and explanations

• Quick reference tables for immediate design decisions

• Notes sidebars highlighting pitfalls, design tips, and field practices

• Standards referenced: ASME, AISC, AWS, NFPA, ASHRAE, ISO, ASTM

Who This Book Is For

• Practicing mechanical engineers seeking a quick reference in design and troubleshooting

• Engineering students needing step-by-step solved examples

• Designers, drafters, and consultants working with codes and standards

• Anyone preparing engineering documentation or review checklists

Why You’ll Use This Book Again and Again

It’s more than a textbook — it’s a desktop companion. Whether you’re sizing a pump, checking a weld, estimating a refrigeration load, or reviewing a design checklist, this book gives you the calculations, standards, and visuals you need, in one place.

Practical. Visual. Standards-driven.
Mechanical Engineering Calculations, Standards & Schedules – By Example is the go-to guide for engineers who want clarity, accuracy, and speed in their design work.
