GUIDE FOR THE DESIGN OF LINE SHAFT COUPLINGS

The guide contains a selection and design table of recommended line shaft coupling and bolt details for various diameter ship propulsion shafting. It is the result of an investigation of line shaft flange bolting practices for turbine, diesel, and motor drives, conducted by SNAME Panel M-16 ( Modernization of Propulsion Shaft System ) of the T&R Ships Machinery Committee. The latest requirements of five major International Classification Societies were considered in preparing this guide.
