How to Evaluate Chip Thickness?

Chip Thickness evaluator uses Chip Thickness = Mass of Chip/(Length of Chip*Width of Chip*Density of Work Piece) to evaluate the Chip Thickness, The chip thickness is a commonly used measure of material removal depth by the abrasive grains and is more closely related to the severity of forces on the grains than is the depth of cut. Chip Thickness is denoted by ao symbol.

How to evaluate Chip Thickness using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Chip Thickness, enter Mass of Chip (mc), Length of Chip (lc), Width of Chip (aw) & Density of Work Piece (ρ) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Chip Thickness

What is the formula to find Chip Thickness?
The formula of Chip Thickness is expressed as Chip Thickness = Mass of Chip/(Length of Chip*Width of Chip*Density of Work Piece). Here is an example- 99.98874 = 1.854562E-05/(0.00126*0.0025*59469.68).
How to calculate Chip Thickness?
With Mass of Chip (mc), Length of Chip (lc), Width of Chip (aw) & Density of Work Piece (ρ) we can find Chip Thickness using the formula - Chip Thickness = Mass of Chip/(Length of Chip*Width of Chip*Density of Work Piece).
What are the other ways to Calculate Chip Thickness?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Chip Thickness-
  • Chip Thickness=Length of Chip Tool Contact/Material ConstantOpenImg
  • Chip Thickness=Chip Breaker Distance-sqrt((Radius of Chip Curvature*2*Chip Breaker Height)-(Chip Breaker Height^2))OpenImg
Can the Chip Thickness be negative?
No, the Chip Thickness, measured in Length cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Chip Thickness?
Chip Thickness is usually measured using the Millimeter[mm] for Length. Meter[mm], Kilometer[mm], Decimeter[mm] are the few other units in which Chip Thickness can be measured.
