The PSG Design Data Book is the result of a collective effort by the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering department at PSG College of Technology in Coimbatore, India. First published as early as 1971, it was developed to provide students and practicing engineers with a single, compact source for the myriad of charts, tables, and standards required in machine design. The book is published by Kalaikathir Achchagam in Coimbatore and has been continuously updated to reflect the latest revisions in engineering standards and industrial practices, incorporating SI and metric units with up-to-date information.
The book's primary purpose is to provide all the necessary standardized data, formulas, and charts in one place, saving engineers the time and effort of consulting multiple sources. It is tailored for a wide audience, including:
