Cone Development Calculations

The document provides calculations to determine the chord lengths and radii for developing a cone shape from a sheet of metal plate. It includes: - Input values for the cone's top diameter, bottom diameter, and height - Calculations of slant height, radii, chord lengths, and angles subtended by segments of the cone development - A comparison of actual vs required circumferences for the segments to determine a height adjustment to compensate for differences.

Cone Development and Chord Length Calculation

Enter the values of top Diameter D1 ,D2 and Height H

D1= 7743

H= 2440

D2= 4917

Colour Coding for this Excel file:


1) Values in Pink are calculated dimesions as per drawin
a (in Degrees) = 30.07506 2) Values in Red are inputs to be provided
Slant Height = 2819.604 mm 3) Values in Green are calculated as per actual dimensio

11015.6 mm

7020.976 mm

7775.363 mm

4955.759 mm

90.20414 Degrees
Angle Subtended by the Entire development at center= 180.4083 Degrees
Enter the fraction of entire development required = 0.5
Angle Subtended by the Section = 90.20414 Degrees
Enter the thickness of the plate = 50 mm
Radius R1 = 4955.759 mm
Smaller Chord Length = 7020.976 mm
Radius R2 = 7775.363 mm
Larger Chord Length = 11015.6 mm

shorter chord length larger chord length
Smaller Longer Smaller Longer
(mm) (mm) (mm) (mm)
Angle subtended by this shorter segment of cone(Q ) = 89.94237 90.11026 90.28007 90.25013
Top Circumference = 24325.35 24325.35
Bottom Circumference = 15604.29 15604.29
No.of segments for which circumference regd.(in ratio)=. 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5
So Required circumfernce of relevant segments = 7802.145 12162.68 7802.145 12162.68
Actual circumference coming = 7779.503 12150.02 7808.713 12168.88

Total Circumference for smaller circle = 15588.22 mm


Required Circumference = 15604.29 mm
Difference in Circumference = 16.0748 mm
Difference in terms of Radius = 2.558383 mm

Total Circumference for larger circle = 24318.89 mm


Required Circumference = 24325.35 mm
Difference in Circumference = 6.458231 mm
Difference in terms of Radius = 1.027859 mm

For every 1mm increase in height the increase in diameter = 1.158197 mm


Hence in terms of circumference the increase per mm = 3.638582 mm
Therefore to compensate the deficit (in circumference) which is 16.0748 mm we have
to increase the height by = 4.417874
11020 mm

7025.61 mm
