Use any unit, but use the same unit for length and diameter.
Use the same unit used for specimen length.
Reference Values
| L/D Ratio | Correction Factor |
|---|---|
| 1.75 | 0.98 |
| 1.50 | 0.96 |
| 1.25 | 0.93 |
| 1.00 | 0.87 |
Important: This calculator uses linear interpolation between the listed L/D ratios. For an L/D ratio greater than 1.75, no correction factor is applied. For an L/D ratio below 1.00, the calculator does not extrapolate beyond the reference data.
