iSlideRule Scales - F
"F" Scales
F
The F scale is a root and power scale, used with the fundamental scale to raise values to the 4th power, or take the 4th root of a value. It runs in values from 1 to 10,000, and is normally located on the top rule or bottom rule.

Formula: F = X⁴
F(2π) The F(2π) scale is used in electronics calculations involving resonant frequency computations.

Gauge marks are located at π and τ.

Formula: F(2π) = X / ( 2π )
Fahrenheit
This is a temperature conversion scale, used with its counterpart, the Celsius scale, to convert between degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius.  This scale runs from -10 to 212 °F and is located on either the top or bottom rule.
FI
The FI scale is a reciprocal root and power scale, used with the fundamental scale to raise values to the 4th power, or take the 4th root of a value. It runs in values from 10,000 to 1, and is normally located on the top or bottom rule.

Formula: FI = 1 / X⁴
