Amplitude Lift Ratio
Ratio of a movement's actual lift angle to the lift angle assumed in an amplitude calculation.
Description
Ratio of a movement's actual lift angle to the lift angle assumed in an amplitude calculation.
Amplitude Lift Ratio: Ratio of a movement's actual lift angle to the lift angle assumed in an amplitude calculation.
When to use Amplitude Lift Ratio
Use this horology calculation to interpret a stated watch, clock, timing-machine, water-resistance, alarm, or historical respiratory-timing quantity under its defined convention.
- Actual Lift Degrees (deg)
- Required number input.
- Assumed Lift Degrees (deg)
- Required number input.
How Amplitude Lift Ratio works
Ratio of a movement's actual lift angle to the lift angle assumed in an amplitude calculation. 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
- Lift Ratio
- The resulting lift ratio 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.
