I am designing a car engine water pump and I want to know where i can find the standards of engine components that i can relay on. I mean what safety factors of stresses ,pressures temps and so on need to be accounted for.
Like i mentioned I know that in aviation these things are very clear and easy to find
For a car, as a whole it must meet certain safety considerations on the road, such as brakes never failing, handling, etc. A non-life threatening component could be designed for a 1 to 2 year life such as wiper blades, or a 5 year life such as belts (maybe ). The powertrain ie engine, transmission, axles - is now probably "overdesigned" beyond the life of the car for obviious reasons. Other components on the engine might have an maximum expected life ( to last at least a certain number of years or cycles ) So thus you have the warranty thing to take into account when designing your water pump, but obiously there is not a one to one relationship of course - the pump just doesn't fail the day after warranty expiration.Buy the way, I believe that car manufactures invest time and money in calculating when is an appropriate time for a part to fail. I mean the spare parts market is huge and if they built fail free cars and parts it would cost many people there jobs and others would just lose tons of money.

Car engine component standards refer to the specific guidelines and requirements that must be met by the various parts and components of a car's engine. These standards ensure that the components are safe, reliable, and perform optimally.
The car engine component standards are set by organizations such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These organizations work with industry experts to develop and update standards based on advancements in technology and safety.
Some common car engine component standards include specifications for engine size, horsepower, torque, fuel efficiency, emissions, and safety features. These standards may also cover specific components such as pistons, crankshafts, and camshafts.
Information about car engine component standards can be found on the websites of organizations such as SAE and ISO, as well as on the websites of car manufacturers and industry publications. Additionally, the standards may be available for purchase from these organizations.
Car engine component standards play a crucial role in ensuring that cars perform safely and efficiently. By meeting these standards, car manufacturers can produce vehicles that are reliable, have good fuel economy, and emit minimal pollutants. Non-compliance with these standards can result in poor performance, increased emissions, and potential safety hazards.
