→5.4 Thermostatic Bimetals
For all calculations according to the formulas in Table 5.24 one should check if the thermally or mechanically induced stress forces stay below the allowed bending force limit. The following formulas are applicable for calculating the allowable load (Force P<sub>max</sub> or momentum M<sub>max</sub>):
