Gregwor & Audiomutt's TL MSM Calculator - Units Error?
Posted: Sun Jan 23, 2022 5:02 am
I have been going over the math in the "DATA" tab of the MSM TL Calculator Version 2.05 (found here: http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=21770) and found an anomaly.
In the MSM resonance equation f0 = C [ (m1 + m2) / (m1 x m2 x d)]^0.5 , C is the constant used to describe if the air cavity is empty or full of insulation.
I have read in a few different places (including here: https://www.digistar.cl/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=413) that for imperial units C = 60 for an empty cavity, and C = 43 for a full cavity while for metric units, C=2650 for an empty cavity, and C=1900 for a full cavity. This obviously has a huge effect on the value of Fo.
So in columns K through N, metric values are used. However, in cells L10 and L11, it looks like the values for Imperial units (60 and 43) are used.
Why are the imperial constants used here?
I found this when debugging a discrephancy between manual calculations and the TL MSM Calculator.
