Terms Used in Screw Flight Calculator

Screw Flight Diameter (D) :

Screw Flight Diameter is Outside Diameter of Screw Flight or Conveyor Blade. It is denoted By D. It is
the Final or Finish Diameter of the Flight. You have to provide this diameter in mm or inches to get the
required blank diameter size of the screw flight. For understanding, this size refers to the Standard
Image of the Input Section.

Pipe Diameter (d):

Pipe Diameter is the inside diameter of the Screw flight. It is also called pipe diameter because it is the
diameter that gets fitted with the pipe outside diameter which used as a hollow shaft for driving
conveyor. It is denoted by d. for generating a flat pattern of screw flight or calculating blank plate
diamter you have to provide this size in the input field. for Understanding, refers to standard input
image in the input data section and enter the value in mm or inches.

Screw Flight Pitch (P) :

Screw Pitch is nothing but the Pitch of the Screw Flight or Conveyor Blade. it is the pitch distance of
the blade. It is denoted By P. for generating a flat pattern of screw flight or calculating blank plate
diameter you have to provide this size in the input field. for Understanding, this refers to the standard
input image in the input data section and enter the value in mm or inches.

Screw Flight Thickness (T) :

Screw thickness is the thickness of the blade. It is denoted by T. It does not play any role in Flat Pattern
layout Calculation or Blank Plate size calculation But it required for the calculation of Weight Screw
Flight. It required to enter in mm or inches.

Material Specific Gravity :

Material Specific Gravity is value is also does not required in Screw flight flat pattern or blank plate
caluculation but it is required to calculate weight of the screw flight. You does not required required to
remeber this value is because we have provided list of standard material if you select material from this
list it will automaticaly pick the value of material specific gravity value. If your Material is other than
this list then only you required to enter the value for weight calculation if you dont want to weight then
you can enter zero in this field

Flight Width (H) :

Flight Width is the Width of the Blate Plate. It is the Difference between Flight outside diameter and
inside diameter. It is automatically Calculated by Calculator and It is available at Result Data.
Development Radius (R1 & R2 ) :
It is calculated by calculator It is available in Result data. Development radius is the Outer and Inner
radius of the Screw Flight Blank Plate and this is useful for Marking Flat pattern or Blank Plate Layout
Marking.

Radial Cut Angle (β):

It is the angle of radial Cut of the Screw Flight. It is calculated by a calculator and available in result
data.
All the above terms are shown in the Standard image shown in the Input section. Please read the input
data image for understanding input dimension notations and then input size carefully to get accurate
layouting.

What are Types of Screw Flight Layout Options are Available

with this Screw Flight Calculator
In this Screw Flight Calculator, we have the following Types of Options are available.
1. Screw Flight Layout Without Radial Cut
2. Screw Flight Layout With Radial Cut

How to Use this Screw Flight Calculator

1. Firstly Navigate to the Screw Flight Calculator and Select Type of Layout from screw flight
calculator.
2. After Selection you have to Enter All the Input dimensions required for the Screw Flight
Calculations.
3. Select Input Dimensions Standarad Units from Unit selection pannel. if you are using inches as
dimenions then please refer note below input selection to refere decimal factor selection chart.
4. Input Segment of This Screw Flight Calculator has Standard Input Image Describing various
notations used for input for the easy understanding meaning of notations.
5. You have to Provide inputs as screw Flight Diameter (D), Pipe Diameter (d), Screw Flight Pitch
(P), Screw Flight Thickness(T) to inputs fields.
6. Select Material from the Material List if your Material is not available in the list then enter the
value of specific gravity of your material in the specific gravity input field. if you select
Material from the list then it automatically selects the value of specific gravity.
7. Enter Quantity of Screw Flight for for Total Weight Calculations.
8. When you Complete All Input Fields then simply click on the calculate button to get your result.
9. If you left any input field empty then it will show you an error notification so if you are getting
this notification then check all your empty fields and enter correct data to generate results.
10.Output Data will be displayed after clicking on the Calculate button then it will show you
output for Screw Flight Blank Plates Size with all required Dimensions.
 11.By using this Data you can mark directly on your fabrication sheet or plate for further
processing of fabrication works.

Why Should Use this Screw Flight Calculator

1. Screw Flight Calculator is helpful for Generating Flat pattern layout marking calculation for
Fabrication of Screw Flight or Ribbon Blade of the desired size.
2. Screw Flight Calculator is useful for Raw Plate Size Calculation of Screw Flight or Ribbon
Blade.
3. This Calculator is also helpful for the Weight of Screw Flight.
4. You Can save the Cost of Material by using this calculator because it helps to Mark Dish Ends
Blank Plate layout by using the minimum scrap principle so it shows the minimum size required
for miter bend fabrication.

Application Area of Screw Flight Calculator

Screw Flight App generate Flat Pattern layout of Screw Flight or Conveyor Blade or Ribbon in Agitator
is most widely used in Agitation or Mixing Industry and Screw Conveyor manufacturing Industry.
Screw Flight Calculator helps to get Raw Plate size for cutting blank of screw flight for forming
process. This Raw Plate or Blank Plate is further used for forming screw flight with help of forming
machine or manual twisting as per the process requirement of fabrication.
We always Recommend to our App user that first, you have to use a flat pattern layout without Radial
cut Because it helps to increase accuracy.
This app is very useful in daily fabrication activity for lay outing transition pieces. this app helps you to
save your time of fabrication and save the cost of fabrication. it also helps to increase the accuracy,
efficiency, and productivity of your fabrication works.
This app helps to Fabrication Engineer, Fabrication Fitter, Production Engineer, Quality Engineer,
Design Engineer, Costing and Estimating Engineer, Fabrication Contractor, Workshop Supervisor,
Fabrication shop, Piping Engineer, Process Equipment manufacturers, Pressure Vessels Fabricators,
Heat Ex-changer Manufacturers, Storage tank Manufacturers.
