Calculation Formula

Taper Angle (α) = arctan((D1 - D2) / (2L))

Where:
D1 = Initial Diameter
D2 = Final Diameter
L = Length of the taper

Results

How to Use the Taper Calculator

  1. Enter the initial diameter of the taper in millimeters.
  2. Enter the final diameter of the taper in millimeters.
  3. Enter the length of the taper in millimeters.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the taper angle.
  5. The result will be displayed in degrees.

Understanding the Formula

The taper angle (α) is calculated using the formula:

Taper Angle (α) = arctan((D1 - D2) / (2L))

Where:

  • D1 = Initial Diameter
  • D2 = Final Diameter
  • L = Length of the taper

This formula helps in determining the angle of taper based on the difference in diameters and the length of the taper.
