I've been looking but can't seem to find a number to "plug in" for beginning length calculations to allow for length loss (to expansion) per inch of bury. Specifically... for 1/8" amsteel, but while I'm at it... would be nice to know for 7/64" as well.
Extrapolating from tutuorials it "seemed" to work around 25%, but in practice, not so much the longer the bury and get's compounded by each bury.
May not be such a thing (down to trial and error), but would sure make life a lot easier on a current project and figured it couldn't hurt to ask, right?
