When using Change in Angle, the information is reported by the fiber angle of braid when used in a configuration other than the base diameter and angle of ±45°. For example, if a carbon braid is pulled down from its base diameter at ±45° to a ±30° angle, enter 30 in "Angle of Braid for Application" and click on "Calculate." Next, find the "Carbon" column to obtain the change in diameter and the resulting braid characteristics.
When using Change in Relative Diameter, the information is reported by the percentage the diameter in question is of the base diameter (the diameter of the braid where the fibers are ±45°). For example, if a carbon braid is 4" in diameter at ±45° and is pulled down to a 3" diameter, enter 3 in "Use Diameter," 4 in "Nominal Braid Diameter," and click on "Calculate." The resulting "Relative Braid Diameter" is 75%. Next, find the "Carbon" column to obtain the change in fiber angle and the resulting braid characteristics.
