Thank You Very Much; Exactly What I Was Looking For

The wire sag is used for turbine machinery alignment; the internal parts of the turbine must be accurately aligned to a centerline. The wire is the centerline reference but the wire sag must be accounted for to get accurate centerline. Alignment of the turbine components has to be within...

Thanks for quick response; I really need to be able to find deflection along any point in the wire. I'm lloking at .016" dia wire with spans from 10 feet to 100 feet and wire tension of 30 pounds.

I am looking for a formula to calculate the deflection(sag) in steel wire that is supported between two points with a known tension. I want to be able to calculate the deflection(sag) at any point along the wire.
