Formula and assumptions

BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Lap dimensions and reinforcement specifications must already be supplied. Grid orientations are fixed; quantity does not establish reinforcement adequacy.

Count = [1 + ceil(max(L−sheet L,0)/(sheet L−lap L))] × corresponding width countCalculated with normalised units
