Symbology You will find these symbols used in this Technical Handbook to bring attention to important Rules of Thumb and Key Formulas.
A Rule of Thumb is a principle which applies in most cases but is not intended to be strictly accurate or reliable for every situation.
= Rule of Thumb
A Key Formula is a standard formula used by KabelSchlepp to calculate critical dimensions and figures that are needed when specifying a cable and hose carrier system for an application.
