Have you heard about the new secret tool to help you choose the best Christmas tree this year?
It is none other than the trusty diameter tape measure.
Sure, you can use your eyes to look for the tallest, widest, bushiest tree… but it’s not until you measure the stump with your diameter tape measure that you will truly know the tree’s age.
Just stick it in your pocket when you’re heading to the Christmas tree farm!
The pipe diameter tape measure that is frequently overlooked, has more to offer than all the others.
This forgotten child gives you the outside diameter of a pipeline in both inches
and centimeters. It is valuable to both Americans (using the inch system) and those who use the Metric system of measurements. It goes up to 38″ diameter (955 millimeters diameter). The only thing it doesn’t offer is the ability to measure straight objects. You would have to have a regular tape for that.
Who would use this tape? Inspectors who travel and deal with both systems. Any drilling companies that use both metric and imperial systems of measurement.
