Graph representing the frequency of titanium shells resonating in the (2,0) mode. This design of titanium shell is typical in that the external diameter of the shell (which corresponds to the size in millimeters) changes by 2 mm every size, but the internal diameter changes every second size. Therefore, the thickness alternately increases and decreases usually by 1 mm. This results in a saw-tooth pattern.
