Measurement of Lay Ratio is crucial for characterizing the geometry of helically wound structures like cables, ropes, and springs. The lay ratio quantifies the tightness and angle of the winding, defined as the axial length of one complete helix revolution divided by the nominal diameter of the wound element. This measurement directly impacts the flexibility, strength, and electrical properties of these structures. Accurate lay ratio control during manufacturing ensures consistent performance, prevents excessive stress, and guarantees adherence to design specifications, ultimately contributing to the reliability and lifespan of the final product.
