TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Oblique cones are more commonly found as parts of more complex structure structures, e.g. in rectangular to round transformers, and similar structures. They may comprise the corner elements of more complex chutework, and especially as liners. Also occur as pipe or circular duct transition elements.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Uses triangulation development.
Up to 8 longitudinal seams permitted.
Parallel inlet and outlet planes.
Axial offsets permitted.

DATA REQUIREMENTS
