Calculate Stave Shell Angle

Formula

The formula to calculate the Stave Shell Angle is:

\[ \text{SSA} = \frac{360}{S} \div 2 \]

Where:

Example

Let's say there are 24 staves. The stave shell angle would be calculated as follows:

\[ \text{SSA} = \frac{360}{24} \div 2 = 7.5 \text{ degrees} \]

So, the stave shell angle is 7.5 degrees.

What is Stave Shell Angle?

The Stave Shell Angle (SSA) is the angle formed by the edges of adjacent staves in a cylindrical shell. It is calculated by dividing 360 degrees by the number of staves and then dividing by 2. This angle is important in the design and construction of barrels, tanks, and other cylindrical structures made from staves.
