Ü Volute | Spiral areas ![]()
The spiral development areas can be designed and calculated in this dialog box.

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.
In panel Cut-water you can specify parameters for the cut-water design.
Some informative values relating to the end cross-section are shown in the lower part:

Under Display options, changes can be made which affect only the graphics:
Show – refers to the image of volute + diffuser |

radial angle lines |
Cut-water compensation |
cut-water compensation as a larger inner radius |
Show in cross section – refers to the image of the cross-section |

In addition, some diagrams can be displayed:
| • | Volute cross sections (z-r) |
| • | Area distribution (Angle-Area) |
| • | Area/Center radius (rC) distribution (Angle-Area/Radius) |
