Calculation method
Calculation method
Chosen extension markings by section (mm)
Enumerate supported sums of discrete supplied section extensions, retaining first input-order solution per sum.
Modeled achieved total length (mm)
Fixed length+nearest reachable extension sum; equal-distance ties choose the smaller total.
Achieved minus requested length, signed (mm)
Achieved−desired.
Supported minimum and maximum modeled lengths (mm)
Fixed length+sum supplied minima/maxima.
Exact requested total reachable
Yes when achieved equals desired; otherwise show nearest settings without claiming an exact fit.
Symbols and units
- a
- Section extension markings: ID, minimum mm, maximum mm, step mm
- b
- Fixed nonextending pole length (mm)
- c
- Desired modeled total length (mm)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- A discrete extension-marking arithmetic model. The fixed length and extension contributions must match the manufacturer’s measurement convention; this does not infer overlap, locking engagement, pole strength or suitability.
