Applying Computer Programs to Fill the Gap Between Metric and British Standard Systems of Spur Gears
Keywords:
Metric system, British system, Spur gears, Gear design, Unit conversionAbstract
Globally, two standard systems are used for gear measurements, making interchangeability between them difficult. The first is the metric system, and the second is the British system. This study employs Visual Basic programming to bridge the gap between the two systems and facilitate conversion of parameters such as the number of teeth, center distance, stress, and standard dimensions. The developed program allows an easy transition from the British system to the more widely used metric system. Additionally, it proposes more appropriate technical terminology for different types of gears, replacing traditional or inaccurate terms, thereby improving precision and consistency in mechanical design applications.
