metal threads (cylindrical solid bodies). For example, for use in determining
the diameter of filaments. The density and length of the sample is required
for calculating the diameter.
Formulas and abbreviations
Definition: d = 2 3 ( W / (/ l Rho / 1000) )
with: d = diameter of sample in mm
3 = square root
W = weight value in grams
/ = PI = 3,145..
l = length of sample in mm, e.g. 100 mm
Rho = density of sample in g/cm
