If the formula for AF from the diameter in inches is 1.5D + 1/6", which seems to give about the right numbers, then this could be written as AF = (9D+1)/6 .
As a hexagon is made up of 6 equilateral triangles, the length of the flat is the AF distance divided by the square root of 3, so the formula relating the flat length to the diameter would be F = (9D+1)/(6 x Root3) ?
