Cylinder Scanning Strategy Variation

I am scanning a cylinder using spiral scanning strategy and also comparing it to a concentric circle scan of the cylinder. Calculating the MAX inscribed circle value. I am measuring ID's from 2.5mm to 4.9mm. I am interrogating the surfaces in similar detail with the same dynamic parameters, and I am getting differences of up to 0.1mm which seems puzzlingly large. The concentric circle strategy is always smaller.
Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Thank you for your time.

  • Sinusoid :
    In an excel sheet :
    enter sphere radius in A1
    number of hits in A2
    =2*pi() in A3
    =A3/A2 in A4

    Then "angle" in B1,"x" in C1 , "y" in D1 and "z" in E1
    In B2, enter 0 and in B3, enter "=B2+$A$4", and copy until angle=2*pi (so line number of hits + 1 !)
    In C2, enter "=(B2/$A$3)*$A$1, and copy
    In D2, enter "=$A$1*SIN(A2)/4".......................(/4 gives the amplitude of sinusoid, you can enter more... less than 4 should be too large)
    In E2, just enter "=SQRT(SUMSQ(B2Smiley2))", and copy.

    I think that ii = xx/radius, jj = yy/radius and kk =zz /radius...
