How To Make Interpolation On Logarithmic Scale PDF
In the given example, D30 is not about 1.5 mm because scale is logarithmic on x axis. So, you need to perform logarithmic interpolation
between 1 mm and 2mm to get D30.
You have to measure a and b with a ruler or on your computer. Lets assume a = 0.75 cm and b = 0.75 cm, so they are equal.
log(2)−log(1) 𝑎+𝑏 log(2)−log(1) 1.5
= =
log(𝐷30)−log(1) 𝑎 log(𝐷30)−log(1) 0.75
Solve this for D30 and you get D30 = 1.414 mm not 1.5 mm!!!
