I keep seeing reference to 7 degree duct divergence, and the carpenter in me can't figure out how you place a typically straight-sided protractor against a curve to measure it.  anyone know?  seems to me something is missing, such as "per inch" so that the curve can be broken down into a series of small triangles.

I also thought a 7 degree duct was a simple straight sided duct with sides that diverge at a 7 degree angle from the centerline.  Maybe I'm more confused than I though : -)
