Ü Volute | Spiral areas Spiral1

 

The spiral development areas can be designed and calculated in this dialog box.

 

spiral_dlg

 

 

The wrap angle (standard: 360°) can be defined under Extension.

 

 

You can select Design rule for volute calculation, whereas 3 possibilities exist: Pfleiderer, Stepanoff, Self.

¢ Details Design Rule

 

 

In panel Cut-water you can specify parameters for the cut-water design.
