Hankinson's equation is a mathematical relationship for predicting stress wave velocity as a function of grain angle in wood.

$V(\alpha) = \frac{V_0 V_{90}}{V_0 sin(\alpha)^2 + V_{90} cos(\alpha)^2}$

Safe Weighing Range Ensures Accurate Results

Don't let static charges disrupt your weighing accuracy

where $V 0$ is the velocity parallel to the grain, $V 90$ is the velocity perpendicular to the grain and $α$ is the grain angle.
