Normal load factor refers to the ratio of the weight of an object to the force exerted on it by the surrounding environment. This factor is also known as the load factor limit, which represents the maximum load a system can sustain without failing. The term 'standard load capacity' is also commonly used to describe normal load factor, indicating the amount of load a system can handle and still maintain its intended functionality. Other synonyms for the term include 'rated capacity,' 'maximum load limit,' 'safe working load,' and 'weight capacity.' These terms are used interchangeably in various industries, including engineering, aviation, and transportation, where load carrying and weight distribution are critical factors.
