PM (Pirastro Measurement) to Millimeter

Millimeter to PM (Pirastro Measurement)

enter gauge in PM or in millimeters (example: 0.550)

This conversion tool from the Pirastro Measurement to the mm scale shows how to calculate the thickness of a plain gut string given the gauge in PM (Pirastro Measurement) into the actual thickness of the string in mm (millimeters).

Equal tension gut string calculator by Nils Wieboldt
After entering the diameter of an open gutstring, this program calculates the tension of this string and (applying equal tension) returns the perfect diameter for the other strings. Having found a tension that suits an instrument, you can also see which strings you would ideally use for different pitches of "A" (392hz,415hz,430hz,440hz) to obtain the same tension. If you dont know the diameter in mm, use the PM-mm converter above.
Select the pitch for a'=	Select which string you enter:	enter string diameter in mm (example 1.20) mm		selected string produces this frequency: Hz
				and this tension: N
	a=392 Hz:	a=415 Hz	a=430 Hz	a=440 Hz
E-string
A-string
D-string
G-string
C-string
