The effective cross-sectional area (cm2) of a core available for magnetic flux. The cross-sectional area listed for toroidal cores is based on bare core dimensions with a 5% radius correction.
The area of a section of a channel at right angles to the direction of flow.
Cross-sectional Area (CSA) is the measurement of the area of a section formed by a plane cutting through an object, usually at right angles to an axis. For example, the cross-section of a muscle can be imaged using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The cross section can be measured to determine the area and volume of the muscle.
The area of a two dimensional slice of a three dimensional object.
The area of a plane in a tank or vessel which is at a right angle to the direction of the flow. The cross-sectional area is expressed in square feet (ft2) and used to calculate the service flow rate or the backwash flow rate. For example: A rate of five U.S. gallons per minute per square foot (5 gpm/ft2) of ion exchange bed area.
The area of a plane at a right angle to the direction of flow through a tank or vessel; often expressed in square feet, and related to the flow rate. (Example: 5 gallons per minute per square foot of ion exchanger bed area.)
The area of a "slice" of an object. When applied to electrical conductors it is usually expressed in circular mils.
The sum of the cross-sectional areas of its component wires with that of each wire being measured perpendicular to its individual axis. This measure is expressed in square inches or more commonly in circular mils.
