Factors of safety, is also known as safety factor, is a term describing the load carrying capacity of a system beyond the expected or actual loads. Essentially, the factor of safety is how much stronger the system is usually that needs to be for an intended load. Safety factors are often calculated using detailed analysis because comprehensive testing is impractical on many projects, such as bridges and buildings, but the structure's ability to carry load must be determined to a reasonable accur
The C-Factor is a measure of the smoothness of a pipe's interior. All pipes have a roughness that resists water flow and causes a drop in pressure under flowing conditions. The roughness is indicated by a factor we call the C-Factor. The higher the C-Factor, the smoother the inside of the pipe. New plastic pipe would have a very high C-Factor. Old steel pipe would have a much lower C-Factor because of the corrosion that may have occurred within the pipe.
