Capsule Size for Diameter Lookup

Screen actual capsule catalogs against measured maximum coin diameter/relief and explicit independent diametral/axial clearances; not vertical tube stacking, invented trade sizes or chemical/storage conservation approval.

Description

A capsule’s nominal diameter alone does not establish fit.

A capsule’s nominal diameter alone does not establish fit. Measured maximum diameter, thickness and desired clearances define two separate margins.^[1]

Enter aligned nonempty unique capsule IDs and positive inner dimensions, positive observed coin dimensions and nonnegative required diametral/axial clearances. Return all margins and IDs with both margins≥0.

When to use Capsule Size for Diameter Lookup

Use Capsule Size for Diameter Lookup when you need to evaluate the supplied records under the calculation and evidence rules below. No catalog is fetched or conservation suitability, irregular profile or material compatibility assessed.

Prepare the measured coin evidence or explicitly verified catalog and prices requested. Keep measurement conditions, units and currency consistent.

How to use Capsule Size for Diameter Lookup and understand its results

Prepare the measured coin evidence or explicitly verified catalog and prices requested. Keep measurement conditions, units and currency consistent.
Enter callerCapsuleIds, callerVerifiedUsableInnerDiametersMm, callerVerifiedUsableInnerDepthsMm, observedMaximumCoinDiameterMm, observedMaximumCoinReliefThicknessMm, callerRequiredDiametralClearanceMm, callerRequiredAxialClearanceMm using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
Read callerDimensionCompatibleCapsuleIds, signedDiametralClearanceMarginsMm, signedAxialClearanceMarginsMm. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.

Input field	Meaning	Value type; see rules below	Requirement
callerCapsuleIds	Caller capsule ids	list of string	Required
callerVerifiedUsableInnerDiametersMm	Caller verified usable inner diameters mm	list of number	Required
callerVerifiedUsableInnerDepthsMm	Caller verified usable inner depths mm	list of number	Required
observedMaximumCoinDiameterMm	Observed maximum coin diameter mm	number	Required
observedMaximumCoinReliefThicknessMm	Observed maximum coin relief thickness mm	number	Required
callerRequiredDiametralClearanceMm	Caller required diametral clearance mm	number	Required
callerRequiredAxialClearanceMm	Caller required axial clearance mm	number	Required

diameterMargin=innerDiameter−coinDiameter−clearance; depthMargin=innerDepth−thickness−clearance

Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.

Output field	Meaning	Value type
callerDimensionCompatibleCapsuleIds	Caller dimension compatible capsule ids	list of string
signedDiametralClearanceMarginsMm	Signed diametral clearance margins mm	list of number
signedAxialClearanceMarginsMm	Signed axial clearance margins mm	list of number

Limitations and assumptions

No catalog is fetched or conservation suitability, irregular profile or material compatibility assessed.

Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Numeric lists are limited to 10,000 entries; string lists to 128 strings of at most 128 characters each. The rules above may impose smaller limits. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use Year Set Birthday Coin Finder: Birthday-year sets depend on a particular catalog and stock record. A dated coin need not have been issued in every country or remain available. For a complementary task, use Measurement Scale Calibration Checker: A calibration maps measured readings back to reference mass. Piecewise linear correction requires ordered calibration pairs and in-range queries.
