Amplitude Decline Power Reserve
Observed linear balance-amplitude decline in degrees per hour over a running interval.
Description
Observed linear balance-amplitude decline in degrees per hour over a running interval.
Amplitude Decline Power Reserve: Observed linear balance-amplitude decline in degrees per hour over a running interval.
When to use Amplitude Decline Power Reserve
Use this horology calculation to interpret a stated watch, clock, timing-machine, water-resistance, alarm, or historical respiratory-timing quantity under its defined convention.
- Starting Amplitude Degrees (deg)
- Required number input.
- Ending Amplitude Degrees (deg)
- Required number input.
- Elapsed Hours (h)
- Required number input.
How Amplitude Decline Power Reserve works
Observed linear balance-amplitude decline in degrees per hour over a running interval. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Decline Degrees Per Hour (deg/h)
- The resulting decline degrees per hour returned as a number.
Limitations and assumptions
- Mechanical-watch amplitude and beat measurements depend on lift angle, position, state of wind, movement condition, instrument setup, and elapsed sampling. ATM markings are test-pressure classifications rather than literal safe diving depths.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Confirm movement specifications and measure in multiple positions and power states; follow the manufacturer's water-resistance guidance and obtain pressure testing after case service.
