How are minutes used is sensitivity? What does 35 minutes per 2mm mean in leveling and engineering?
In: Engineering
If it’s on a production drawing, it’s because someone hates you, because that’s a virtually impossible standard to keep.
There are 360 degrees in a circle. There are 60 minutes in a degree.
So you’re going for 35/60=0.58 Degrees off plane per 2mm.
Listing it “Per 2mm” implies that you’re going to keep adding 0.58 degrees every 2mm, creating a curve or series of staggered lines. I’d be guessing what the intention is, but it’s probably obvious if we had the drawing to look at.
Listing “Minutes per 2mm” is weird though. Typically it’s either “Degrees/Minutes” or “Xmm per 2mm”, giving you a triangle to solve for degrees if need be.
