Given:

L1 A1 where L1, A1 are the original length and area, and L2, A2 are the new length
=
L 2 A2 and area

Then:

A2 L2
L 2 = L1 or A 2 = A1
A1 L1

Since area is proportional to diameter squared:

D22
L 2 = L1 2 where D2 is new diameter and D1 is the original diameter.
D1

If there is a large change in diameter, accounting for the end correction difference is
recommended

D22
L 2 = L1 2 + (D 2 ! D1)2
D1
