Dübel Randabstand 1,5xD Calculator

Named1.5×dowel-diameter illustrative edge offset only, not DIN/EN universal safe edge-distance or structural capacity. Actual independently verified stock/tool/hardware, matching units and applicability; not safe machine setting, capacity certification, code compliance or automatically approved fabrication.

Description

Dowel edge distance is measured relative to a dowel and the relevant member edge.

Dowel edge distance is measured relative to a dowel and the relevant member edge.^[1]

This tool returns a fixed illustrative factor of 1.5 times the supplied dowel diameter without calculating connection capacity.

When to use Dübel Randabstand 1,5xD Calculator

Use this tool to obtain a fixed illustrative factor of 1.5 times the supplied dowel diameter without calculating connection capacity.

How to use Dübel Randabstand 1,5xD Calculator and how it works

Prepare actualNamedDowelDiameterMm, with the units, conventions and assumptions below.
Enter the required fields and run Dübel Randabstand 1,5xD Calculator.
Read result.value using the output definitions below.
Correct any rejected inputs and rerun; interpret the result within the stated model and its assumptions.

Input field	Meaning	Value type	Requirement
actualNamedDowelDiameterMm	Actual Named Dowel Diameter Mm. Use the units and matching context stated in the calculation below.	number	Required; strictly positive; finite; other constraints below

Supply positive dowel diameter in millimeters. Multiply it by a fixed illustrative factor of 1.5 and return edge distance in millimeters. This does not verify an applicable connection standard or calculate splitting resistance.

illustrativeEdgeDistanceMm=1.5*dowelDiameterMm

Apply the input ordering, units and branch conditions stated above.

Output field	Meaning	Value type
result	Object containing the calculated or selected fields below.	object
result.value	Conditional dimension or offset coordinate in millimeters under the stated reference convention.	number

Limitations and assumptions

The calculation uses the supplied observations and model inputs. It does not collect measurements, select a reference population or coefficient, or establish that the model applies to the actual case. The stated branch conditions and output units remain part of the result.

All fields require explicit values. Unexpected fields, wrong types, nonfinite numbers and sparse arrays are rejected. Alignment, bounds and supported-token rules are explained above; extremely large inputs or nonfinite results can also fail. Input errors differ from successful false comparisons, unavailable-domain flags and empty match lists.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use Holz Dübel 8x30 Lookup for a complementary operation: An 8-by-30-millimeter wooden dowel is a component designation whose suitability depends on the joint.

Use Hardwood Pilot Hole Calculator for a complementary operation: Hardwood pilot-hole dimensions depend on the screw, wood and installation conditions.
