Ends Per Inch (EPI): 0.00

Calculation Formula

EPI = C / D

Where:
EPI = Ends Per Inch
C = Conductor Count
D = Overall Diameter (inches)

Learn how to use the Ends Per Inch Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the Conductor Count - the number of individual wire strands in the rope (typically 6, 7, 19, 37, etc.)
  2. Enter the Overall Diameter of the wire rope in inches
  3. Click the Calculate button to compute the Ends Per Inch value
  4. The result will be displayed as the number of wire ends per inch

Understanding Ends Per Inch (EPI)

Ends Per Inch is a measure used in wire rope specifications that indicates how many individual wire ends are present per inch of length. It's particularly useful for identifying wire rope types and ensuring proper selection for applications.

Example Calculation

If you have a wire rope with 19 conductors and an overall diameter of 0.75 inches, the EPI would be calculated as:

EPI = 19 conductors / 0.75 inches = 25.33 Ends Per Inch

Applications

This calculator is useful for:

  • Identifying wire rope specifications
  • Comparing different wire rope types
  • Ensuring proper wire rope selection for specific applications
  • Quality control in wire rope manufacturing
