Note: This calculation is based on permissible tensile strength = 0.14 N/mm² and permissible shear strength = 0.011 N/mm² as per DC 983 sealant defaults. Toggle "Override Default Values" to enter custom material properties. Bite size in height is fixed at 6 mm minimum. Calculated bite width values are rounded up to the next whole millimetre.
