Calculate Knurling Diameter (KD)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Knurling Diameter (KD) is:

\[ KD = OD + 2P \]

Where:

Definition

Example

Let's say the original diameter of the workpiece (OD) is 50 mm and the pitch of the knurl pattern (P) is 1 mm. Using the formula:

\[ KD = 50 + 2 \times 1 = 52 \]

So, the Knurling Diameter (KD) is 52 mm.
