How To Estimate Amount Of Braid Yarn Required For A Harness
The following relationship may be applied:
 |
| Ø = Braid Angle |
L = Harness Length |
L' = Yarn Length |
| Total Yarn Length, L' = |
(# Carriers, N x Dia. Braid,
D x 3.14) / (CosØ) |
| Pounds Req'd, W = |
(Total Yarn Length, Yds.) /
(*Yds./Lb.)
*Yield - Braid Yarn
Vinyl 0.028 inches = 1,000 Yds/Lb.
Vinyl 0.040 inches = 550 Yds./Lb. |
| Example: |
L' = (16 x 1 x 3.14) / (0.71)
L' = 70.8 in. Yarn Per Inch of Braid
Cos 45° = 0.71
(70.8 / 36 in/yd) / 1000 YPP = 0.002 Lbs Per Inch of
Harness |
