Extreme Spread Calculator

Formula

The formula for calculating the Extreme Spread is:

\[ ES = HV - LV \]

Where:

\( ES \) is the Extreme Spread (fps)
\( HV \) is the highest velocity in the group (fps)
\( LV \) is the lowest velocity in the group (fps)

What is Extreme Spread?

Extreme Spread (ES) is a measure of the variation in velocity within a group of measurements. It is calculated by subtracting the lowest velocity from the highest velocity in the group. This metric is often used in ballistics and other fields to assess the consistency of measurements.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Highest Velocity (HV) = 3000 fps
Lowest Velocity (LV) = 2900 fps

Using the formula to calculate the Extreme Spread:

\[ ES = 3000 - 2900 = 100 \text{ fps} \]

The Extreme Spread is 100 fps.
