CHANGE OF RUNFLATS TO NON RUNFLATS

Not sure what Boyle’s law has to do with the physics of a tyre until you get a puncture?
Why not? Boyle's first law of thermodynamics, surely. (again no googling that is cheating).

Peter, your ability to Google facts seems to know no bounds. I would be interested to know your reasoning behind these "facts", as the website you quote is presuming, surely, that Boyle's Law is a fundamental factor in their calculations. :thumbsup:

Just saying, ideally use the combined gas law as temperature is massively important in tyre management :D

And that’s the thing under pressurised tyres will have an impact on efficiency, wear and heat generated, but this is by degrees a tyre that is 5 psi under inflated won’t make much of a difference but a tyre that is 15 psi under inflated could fail catastrophically if the tyre temperature is allowed to get high enough. It is primarily after all, rolling resistance and slippage where energy is lost through the tyre

But he's the Googlemeister, don't ya know?
Maybe googling the torque capacity of an E89 N20 auto gearbox would have been wiser? :thumbsup:
You two related?

OT: I remember when Les Patterson debuted on Sydney TV (showing my age). He had been on Melbourne TV before but the first time on Sydney TV was on one of the week evening "In Town Tonight-type" shows that were on at 9:00pm. He was half-pissed, smoking, food all down his front and dribbling and spitting as he spoke. Fantastic!

How was literally the talk of the town after that exhibition. I've got to say that he's my hero also.

When to check tyre pressure when atmospheric pressure is high or low?
Oh that would depend on the coefficient of friction of the road you're going to use. :poke: :D

I’m surprised as an aviator that you throw that one in..1013 hecto pascals :thumbsup:

When the conditions are ambient silly :poke: :D

hectoPascals, brilliant, where did you drag that one up from :D

and you’ve have unwittingly done one of my pet hates in my industry, standard convention is the bar, psi or if you want to be proper it’s the MPa (or if you are a real gimp kg/cm2) however calculating anything with pressure in the equation it is always absolute. So my pet hate is peeps writing barg or psig to indicate that it’s gauge pressure, duh all measured pressure is gauge :poke: so it’s just bar or psi or Pa, if it’s atmospheric the SI convention is to state the units as bar (abs) thus: - it is 1013 hecto Pascals (abs) :P

Sars, if I put that int Google translate is there any chance I’ll understand it any better :rofl:

You changed the colour order for your G29 yet? :wink:
 
No it’s still red :poke: my last BMW was blue and I really wanted something different and I haven’t had a red convertible since my 74 MGB Roadster :D
 
SARS…for the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). The reference point for all pressure settings is hecto pascals …shortened to hPA previously it was milli bars..or inches (of mercury) in USA

You can have a standard reference 1013 which is what you set your altimeter to when flying flight levels..eg FL230 or

If you want to be able to land when your altimeter shows zero then you set QNH which is pressure adjusted to your point on the earth at this exact point in time or you can have QNH which is pressure altitude set so that sea level (average) would read zero on your altimeter (if you landed on the sea)

When we move back to tire pressures we should in aviation correct back to ISA..ie a pressure of 1013 hecto pascals and a temperature of 15c

Any variation in pressure or temp should then be subject to a correction factor based on the physical characteristics of the object in question :thumbsup:

See this as a working example…. https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/docs/33/SafetyNotice2014004.pdf
 
So all that copying and pasting to tell me it’s used in the in aviation industry :P

No copying and pasting required …30+ years in aviation…15 as head of continuing airworthiness amongst many aviation posts held.. :thumbsup:

So in your industry, that is aviation, all pressures are atmospheric, excepting the ones you have in your tyres :lol:
