What Is A Diameter Tape Measure?

Good question, because most people don’t have any use for one. A diameter tape measure is a measuring tape whose scale is stretched out by a factor of pi. This allows you to wrap it around a round object, such as a pipeline or tree trunk, and read its diameter directly on the scale. You don’t need to divide by 3.14159.

Here are some other names that people call these tapes:

pi tapes
circumference tapes (a misnomer)
pipe tapes
Lufkin pi tapes
OD tapes
outside diameter tapes
pi-Cobra tapes
pie tapes

Does Your Engraved Maglite Have The Power It Needs Today?

Make Sure Your Engraved Maglites Have Batteries on #NationalBatteryDay

What on earth would we do if we didn’t have batteries? Your smartphone wouldn’t work, your car wouldn’t work, your TV controllers wouldn’t work, and your kids’ noisy toys wouldn’t work (wait, maybe that would be a good thing..)

And above all, your engraved Maglite wouldn’t work! Do your customers prefer the mini engraved Maglites that use AA or AAA batteries? Or do they prefer the larger models that use a C or D battery?

Either way, you can’t go wrong with whichever model you give to your customers this year.

So today, on #NationalBatteryDay, which engraved Maglite will you choose?

Uses AAA: M3A Mini Maglite

Uses AA: 2AA LED Mini Maglite

Uses C: ML25LT LED Maglite

Uses D: 2D LED Maglite

What If You Lose Your Tally Books?

When oilfield workers record data while they are drilling, they need to enter it in

Today's Oilfield Workers and Their Tally Books — Today’s Oilfield Workers and Their Tally Books

a safe place. They write it in a pipe tally book. What if they lose their tally books?

The workers would lose the number of feet of pipe they have put in the ground.
They would lose the number of pipe sections they used.
They would not be able to recall the times that they hooked up each section of pipe.
They would not be able to report on the amount of fluids that were used in the operation.

What a disaster! Prevent this catastrophe by purchasing oilfield pipe tally books that are:

Bright in color, so you can’t misplace them.
Water resistant, with a vinyl cover.
Made of that new waterproof “paper” called “stone paper”. Not only is it waterproof, it is tear-resistant.
Small enough to fit in the oilfield or gas field worker’s pocket.
Made with an integral pen loop, so there’s always a pen with the book.
Identified with your company logo and phone number on the front cover.
