Direct answer
What this result means
Calculate material ligament between equal adjacent holes from centre spacing and hole diameter. The relationship b = Pcentre − Dhole ties hole centre spacing and hole diameter directly to the reported result. Adjacent holes have equal diameter and lie on one centreline. Treat the value as a transparent preliminary calculation, then compare it with the actual cable-entry assembly and current product documentation.
Formula & theory
Make the assumptions visible.
b = Pcentre − Dhole defines the calculation shown here. Adjacent holes have equal diameter and lie on one centreline. Keep the entered units with the result so another reviewer can reproduce the method.

Variables
Use sequence
From measurement to review
- Confirm hole centre spacing and hole diameter from a controlled drawing, measurement or project document.
- Apply b = Pcentre − Dhole with consistent units and keep the entered values beside the result.
- Use ligament width only after checking seal drawing, hole tolerances, material tearing limits and cable movement.
Limits
What this calculation does not confirm
- Adjacent holes have equal diameter and lie on one centreline.
- Inputs describe one defined operating or measurement condition and use mutually consistent units.
- The result does not by itself confirm product suitability, standards compliance, ingress performance or installation approval.
