Thread angle is the degree of angle between the threads on a screw, affecting its fixing power and ease of installation. Standard angles include 60 degrees for most screws, 55 degrees for pipes, and 30 degrees for rounded or knuckle threads. The angle can be measured using a micrometer or calculated based on other screw […]
Compound angles are formed by cutting wood at an angle to the horizontal and vertical plane. They are important for creating tight-fitting joints in structures such as buildings, furniture, and picture frames. Compound angle cuts can be made with power or hand-operated saws, and require careful calibration or the use of clamps, fences, and jigs. […]
Angle iron is a flat metal rod bent at a 90 degree angle, commonly made of iron or steel for structural use. Aluminum and brass are used for weight or aesthetic purposes. Slotted angle iron has holes for easy assembly and is used for commercial shelving. Angle brackets are L-shaped pieces used for support. An […]
Camber angle measures the angle of a tire in relation to the vertical axis of the tire when viewed from the front or rear of a vehicle. It affects how a vehicle handles and is taken into account when designing a suspension system. Adjustment may be required if the vehicle’s suspension is raised or lowered, […]
An angle valve is a fluid regulating device used in plumbing and industry with input and output ports at a 90-degree angle. It can have compression fittings for copper pipes or threaded connections for steel and iron pipes. Residential plumbing systems use angle stop valves to shut off water to fixtures for repairs. Angle valves […]
Angle iron is a metal piece bent at a 90-degree angle, used in construction as structural or decorative elements. It can be made of various metals and has many shape variations, finishes, and coatings. Holes and cutouts can be added for hardware use. Angle iron is a general term used to describe a long, rectangular […]
Angle iron is a rectangular metal piece bent at a 90-degree angle, used in construction as structural, reinforcing, or support elements. It can be made of various metals, with different shapes, finishes, and coatings. Steel and aluminum are the most common materials, but other metals like brass can be used. The shape of angle iron […]
The Cobb angle measures spinal curvature in scoliosis or spinal fractures, but has drawbacks. It is a quick diagnostic tool, but can be inaccurate and does not account for twisting of the spine. Consultation with multiple doctors is recommended for treatment decisions. The Cobb angle is a measure used to determine the degree of curvature […]
Corner bracing is used in woodworking to strengthen and protect corner joints. There are two types: external for decoration and protection, and internal for structural support. They can be made of metal or wood and are commonly used in furniture and construction industries. Shear bracing is a specific type used to strengthen table corners. Corner […]
Angle iron prices are influenced by factors such as the type and size of steel used, labor and shipping costs, energy costs, and supply and demand. Stainless steel requires more labor and materials, while larger angles require more materials. Energy costs and labor costs also impact prices, as well as fuel expenses for transportation. Prices […]
The cutting angle is the angle between the tool line and a line perpendicular to the work surface. It affects the force required to cut and the impact on the surface. Tool angle and rake angle also impact cutting. Grinding affects clearance, which affects the angle of the tool. Basic guidelines exist for determining cut […]
An angle gauge is a tool used to determine the angle of a workpiece, allowing for replication of angles in production runs. It is useful in metalworking, manufacturing, and plumbing. Angle gauges typically use a bubble level and pointer needle on a grid, but there are also automated meters with numeric readouts and memory chips […]
Rake angle is the angle between a cutting tool and the work surface, used to create correct cuts in materials. Positive angles require less power and force, while negative angles generate extreme cutting force. Some machines have two separate rake angles to consider: axial and radial. Understanding rake angles is important in various industries. A […]
Rake angle is the angle between a cutting tool and the object being cut, measured in degrees. Positive angles are desirable for wood and steel, while negative angles are better for hard or dense materials. Some cutting machines have axial and radial rake angles to consider. Understanding rake angles is important in various industries, including […]
Angle clips are L-shaped steel plates used to join structural components in buildings or objects. They can be made of cold-rolled or galvanized steel and have pre-drilled holes for screws or bolts. They are used to support roof or ceiling beams, connect walls or columns to floor framing, hold shelving, and attach windows or doors. […]
The pressure angle is the point where the energy created by the application of pressure from the drive gear to the driven gear is maximum. It occurs when the gear teeth have fully meshed and is typically found just after the apex of the spoke. The term pressure angle refers to the angle at which […]
An angle grinder is a hand tool with a rotating abrasive disc used for grinding, cutting, or polishing hard materials. It can be electric or pneumatic and requires safety precautions. Different discs are needed for various tasks, and protective gear should be worn to avoid injury or fire. An angle grinder is a mechanically operated […]
Angle bars are used in steel fabrication to create supported corners and edges for walls and surfaces. They provide reinforced support to structures and prevent damage from weathering. They can also be used for vertical and horizontal support in structures like radio towers and as a means of moving heavy objects. In construction, they provide […]
Angle gauges are used to measure the angle of an object relative to a larger object. Foresters use them to inventory trees, while carpenters use them to determine saw blade angles. In engineering, they are used to maintain an even torque load. Different types of angle gauges are used in each field. An angle gage […]
Helices are curves with a constant slope around a central axis, with the helix angle determining properties. Mechanical engineers use helix angles in designs, such as screws and conveyors, while springs store energy. Helices are found in biology, including the DNA double helix. Mathematically, a helix is the trace of a circle with increasing z-dimension. […]
