Material Length Formula:
From: | To: |
The rolled material length formula calculates the total length of material wound in a spiral or coil based on the average diameter of the roll and the number of turns.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: Each complete turn of material adds approximately π × diameter to the total length.
Details: Accurate length calculation is crucial for inventory management, material planning, and production processes where rolled materials are used.
Tips: Enter the average diameter in centimeters and the number of complete turns. Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is considered the average diameter?
A: The average diameter is the mean between the outer diameter and inner diameter of the rolled material.
Q2: How precise should the diameter measurement be?
A: For accurate results, measure diameter to at least 1mm (0.1cm) precision.
Q3: Does material thickness affect the calculation?
A: Material thickness is accounted for in the number of turns and diameter measurement.
Q4: Can this be used for partially unrolled materials?
A: Yes, if you know the current diameter and number of remaining turns.
Q5: What about materials with varying diameters?
A: For tapered rolls, calculate length in sections with different diameters.
