Helical Length Calculator

Calculate the circumference, length, unit rise and handrail radius using our free online Helix Curve calculator. A helix is a twisted, spiral shape, like a corkscrew. In math, a helix is defined as "a curve in three-dimensional space", just like a spiral. Enter the radius, height and angle of the helix in the helical length calculator to find the Helix curve length, circumference and radius.

Calculate Circumference, Length, Unit Rise, Handrail Radius

Example:

Calculate the circumference and unit rise of the helix curve having a radius=3,height=4,angle=30.

Solution:

Circumference = 2 x 3.14 x 3
= 18.84956
Helical Length = (4 x 360) / 30
= 51.56846
Unit Rise = 4 /18.84956
= 2.54648
Handrail Radius = (4 × π 2 × 32 + 42 ) / (4 × π 2 × 4)
