Examples

1

Consider that a mechanical watch's gear rotates by 12 diameter parts.
Convert this rotation from diameter parts to Compass Points.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in diameter parts is:

Angle(Diameter Parts) = 12

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from diameter parts to compass points is:

Angle(Compass Points) = Angle(Diameter Parts) × 360 / (376.991 × 11.25)

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Diameter Parts) = 12 in the above formula.

Angle(Compass Points) = 12 × 360 / (376.991 × 11.25)

Angle(Compass Points) = 1.0186

Final Answer:

Therefore, 12 diameter part is equal to 1.0186 compass point.

The angle is 1.0186 compass point, in compass points.

2

Consider that a precision tool rotates by 16 diameter parts for accurate measurements.
Convert this rotation from diameter parts to Compass Points.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in diameter parts is:

Angle(Diameter Parts) = 16

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from diameter parts to compass points is:

Angle(Compass Points) = Angle(Diameter Parts) × 360 / (376.991 × 11.25)

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Diameter Parts) = 16 in the above formula.

Angle(Compass Points) = 16 × 360 / (376.991 × 11.25)

Angle(Compass Points) = 1.3581

Final Answer:

Therefore, 16 diameter part is equal to 1.3581 compass point.

The angle is 1.3581 compass point, in compass points.

Diameter Parts

Diameter parts are a less common unit of angular measurement, historically used to describe angles in terms of the fractional parts of a circle's diameter. This unit was more prevalent in classical geometry and certain types of mechanical design, where direct relationships between linear measurements and angles were essential.

Compass Points

Compass points are a unit of angular measurement used in navigation and cartography to represent directions on a compass. Traditionally, the compass is divided into 32 points, each representing 11.25 degrees. Compass points are essential in maritime navigation, aviation, and orienteering, providing a simple and standardized way to describe directions.
