Honeycomb Cell Geometry

Good morning,

I'm wondering whether you have any information or data regarding the cell geometry of your honeycomb cores, both Nomex and Aluminium?

In particular, are they regular hexagons in shape (all sides the same length) and is the cell size measured from one flat side to the opposing flat side, rather than corder to corner or some other measurement?

Are there any variations in this in the Nomex and Aluminium you stock, or are they all the same?

Thanks for your help.

As for the "satellite"  Aerospace jobs ... some of that is just mindblowing Tech....  :-O  

I've seen a microwave dish for one project ... built from composites and exotic metal foils...

This thing does not distort its surface more than 1/1000 of a mm, over a temperature range of -180 C to + 180 C.      w00t

It's close to one square metre in size, and weighs less than 2000 grams....  Alien
