Following tool is useful and is designed to determine Helix length. Select the mode basic or advance first enter the Rise of the helix in one revolution into first input field of the calculator and then enter the circumference of the helix in the second input field of the calculator, than simply click on calculate the calculator will evaluate required length for you.
A helix is a type of curve in three-dimensional space, like a spring or spiral staircase. The helix length is the distance measured along the curve from one end to the other.

FAQs
What is helix rise?
Rise is the vertical distance that will be covered by a helix moving one complete revolution.
Why is it necessary to calculate the circumference to find the length of the helix?
By calculating the circumference, we can get the horizontal distance of one revolution, which helps us calculate the total helix length.
Is this calculator capable of doing calculations for any helix?
Yes, this calculator can be applied to any helix as long as you have the rise and circumference.
