About Tube Bias Calculator APK
Table Of Contents
Description
The Tube Bias Calculator will calculate power tube bias values of Plate Current, Dissipation and % of Max Dissipation using either measured voltage drop across a cathode resistor or measured plate current. It has a database of 36 tube types and will calculate the Class A Fixed, Class AB Fixed Bias and Cathode Bias Maximum Safe Bias settings.To calculate the tube's Max Safe Bias setting you simply pick your tube from the pick list and enter the Plate-to-Cathode Voltage (plate voltage is always measured between the tube's plate and cathode). The Maximum Safe Bias settings for Class A Fixed, Class AB Fixed Bias and Cathode Bias are displayed.
To calculate bias when you measure the plate current, such as when using the output transformer shunt current measurement, enter your Tube Type and Plate-to-Cathode voltage at the top of the page, enter the Plate Current and touch 'Calculate' and the Plate Dissipation and Dissipation% are shown.
To calculate bias by measuring the voltage drop across a cathode resistor enter your Tube Type and Plate-to-Cathode voltage at the top of the page, enter the Number of Tubes that share the cathode resistor, the Voltage Drop Across the Cathode Resistor and the Cathode Resistor actual resistance. Touch 'Calculate' and the Total Cathode Current, Total Plate Current, Plate Dissipation, Plate Dissipation % & Current per Tube are shown.
To measure the voltage drop across a resistor set your multimeter to volts DC and touch each leg of the resistor with a probe (disregard any minus sign).
WARNING: Amplifiers have high voltage that can KILL even when unplugged. Do not attempt to set an amplifier's bias unless you are competent with test gear and very familiar with high voltage and the dangers involved.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
