Percentage of Covered Braiding

The document describes how to calculate the percentage of coverage for a braided cable. It provides the formula: Percentage of Coverage (G) = (2F - F^2) x 100, where F is the lay factor. The lay factor (F) is calculated as: F = Ncd / (2Psinα), where N is the number of wires per carrier, c is the number of carriers, d is the diameter of individual wires, P is the pitch of the braid, and α is the angle of the braid with the cable axis. The document then works through an example calculation to find a percentage of coverage of 72.48% for a given braided cable.
