Dear Ted,
If you know the density of the string material, you get a factor for
diam conv. thus:
from the string equation it follows, that the diameters d1, d2 of two
string substances 1, 2 with density1 and density2 behave as
d2/d1 = Sqrt (density1/density2) = factor x/nyl .
substance x nylon 6.12 gut, nylgut, sugar nylgut NGE
carbon/All. KF
density (kg/m^3) 1070 ca 1300 1220
ca.1780
factor x/nylon 1 0,91
0,94 0,78
Best wishes

Dear wise luters:
When converting strings from nylon to gut to a synthetic gut, are there
simple multiplication factors that one can use to determine the
diameter of a replacement string? For example, if I have a 1mm nylon
string, and I want to replace it with a gut or synthetic gut, can one
simply multiply the diameter by a factor - based on the densities of
the material - to find the diameter of the replacement string (pitch,
string length, and room temperature being same)?
Sorry for the complicated question; I assume the answer will more
simple.
Also, are 'Nylgut' and 'Alliance' strings material the same density?
And lastly, Any recommendations for user friendly online string
calculators?
Apologies that the questions may have been previously addressed in this
group-
Thanks,
ted jordan
