Add A Pipe Diameter Measuring Tape To Your Toolbox

What's the diameter of this Pipeline? — What’s the diameter of this Pipeline?

Diameter tape measures are able to give you the diameter of a pipe, pipeline, log, or any other round object. They do it in 1 easy step. All you do is wrap the pipe diameter measuring tape around the pipe and read off the diameter. A regular tape measure would give you the circumference. Then you would have to divide by pi (3.14159). That adds another step, plus you would need a calculator, pencil, and paper to arrive at the diameter.

Why do you need a diameter tape in your toolbox?

To measure the diameter of a heater hose in your car, for replacement.
To measure the diameter of your round furnace ductwork, so you can extend it, or tap into it.
Furnace ductwork in your home
To find the diameter of a hose in your boat, so you can replace it. You can go buy the new hose without removing the old one first.
Pipes and hoses on your boat
To find the diameter of pipes or copper tubing, or plastic pipe in your house plumbing, so you can extend it, or add onto it.

Maglite Flashlights To Shatter The Next 36 Years

Maglite Flashlights

For the last 36 years, since 1979, Maglite Flashlights have been designed and manufactured in the USA by Anthony Maglica in Ontario, California. What will he come up with for the next 36 years? To get into the creative mind of Anthony, lets see what he has done in the past, and see what he has changed.

Anthony Maglica

What Has Stayed the Same with Mag-Lites. The frame of each flashlight has always bee anodized 6061 aluminum, and designed and manufactured in the USA. The colors for most of the models have been limited to black, silver, blue, and red.

What Has Changed with Mag-Lites. A few of the popular models are available in other colors, like green, orange, purple. The original ones used xenon or krypton incandescent bulbs. The new ones use LED bulbs. Accessories have been added, such as mounting brackets, holsters, rechargeable models, and LED conversion kits. The original ones just had an on/off switch. Now there are various modes in some models. Strobe, SOS, momentary, low power, and eco power. A set of 3 modes can be selected for General Use, Outdoor Use, Law Enforcement, and Tactical. Engraved flashlights. The factory has also added the ability to have your maglite engraved with your logo, available through a world-wide system of promotional product distributors.

Could the next Maglite improvement be:

Brighter bulbs
More types of flashing signals
Longer lasting batteries
Lighter weight, overall
Custom printing over the entire surface–a wrap imprint like the US flag version
Introducing a new model imported from China, to bring the cost down

How To Measure the Diameter of a Pipe

W906PDC Lufkin Diameter Tape

Do you need to find the diameter of a pipe or pipeline, and you don’t want to have to divide by pi? Of course, you can do it that way–Measure the circumference and divide by pi. But a more accurate way is to use a pipe diameter tape measure.

Other ways: Use a micrometer that is big enough to do the job. Or use a caliper, then transfer the size to a rule, then divide by pi.

Diameter tapes make the job easy, by doing all the work for you on an oil, gas, or water pipe, or anything round, like a tree or telephone pole.

So, when you are asked,
How To Measure the Diameter of a Pipe, just follow this simple video.

3 Reasons To Give MagLites For Christmas

USA-Made. MagLites have been designed and manufactured in the United States since the beginning. Unlike a lot of companies that shift their US production to overseas, MagLite has continued to keep the jobs in America. This has caused the retail pricing to be higher than similar flashlights made overseas. Despite the higher prices, this has not prevented the loyal customers, world-wide, from buying MagLites on a regular basis. MagLite has made a name for itself, and the name has universal recognition.

American Success Story. Maglite is also the story of a man who started small and made a highly successful company. Anthony Maglica showed us that hard work and dedication pays off.

Durability and Versatility. There is no question that Maglite flashlights are durable because of their aluminum barrel construction and water-tight rubber seals. The knurled barrel finish makes them easy to grip. They are versatile because of the many types of beam intensity and functions that are built into some of them. They all have the twisting focusing ability, which is a trademark of this great American company.

6 Quick Tips About Custom Pipe Tally Books

Custom pipe tally books are used by people in the oil drilling and gas industries and energy companies. They use them to record data such as pipe size, length, time of day or night that a new pipe was connected. But many other people find them very useful. These are used by trucking companies, news media, survey crews, power companies, contractors, geologists, biologists, botanists, zoologists, maintenance people, mud loggers, railroad workers, and environmentalists.

Here are 6 tips, to help you get the most out of your “pocket buddy”.

Get a tally book with a pen loop attached to it. This keeps your pen where you need it the most.
Get one with a hard cover, or a flexible cover. You can determine what is the best for you.
Determine if you want a sewn-in pad or a wire-o pad. A sewn-in pad is a permanent arrangement. A wire-o pad allows the pages to easily be torn out, but the book lies flat when you are using it.
If you work in a wet environment, get a “stone pad” instead of a “paper pad”. The new Stone Pads will not get soggy when wet. They won’t tear, either. Also use a writing instrument that works well when wet.
Does size matter? Choose between a standard 8″ size, or the 6″ junior.
Get your company logo imprinted in

full color on the cover of your custom pipe tally books. This is good for your image.
