It’s true that the average person does not have an urgent use for a Pipe Diameter Tape Measure (or even know what one is!). Have you given much thought to what this unique tape measure can do, and who uses them the most? Here are some fun facts about this tool:
* tapes are usually made of cloth or metal
* measurements are shown reduced by the value of π in order to provide the person the diameter of the item being measured
* most commonly used to measure pipes and tree trunks

You can find the volume of a jar by using a pipe diameter tape measure.
Volume = πr2h
Once you find the diameter of the jar’s base with your pipe diameter tape measure, you then divide that number by 2 and you get your radius (r).
No one can say no to a delicious homemade pie. Whether it’s apple, coconut cream, or pumpkin, a slice of fresh pie just hits the spot.
Today is National Cherry Pie Day, so have that be your flavor of choice just for today.
Did you know . . .
Before you slice into your cherry pie, you can grab your pipe diameter tape measure and calculate the diameter of this baked good!
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.

A pipe diameter tape measure is an extremely useful tool, but not for everyone. Who needs one? Let me make a list…
Pi Day is March 14. This year you can help celebrate by answering the question at the bottom.
Pi is the constant ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, no matter what size the circle is. This is useful knowledge when you work with water pipes or oil or gas pipelines, and you need to replace part of it. You can measure the circumference and divide by pi. But there’s an easier way to do that.
Let a Lufkin Diameter tape measure do it for you. You just wrap it around the pipe, and read the diameter. Mathematicians call pi an irrational number, since it goes on for an infinite number of decimal places, but using a diameter tape is a very rational and easy way to find the diameter of a pipe.

Trivia: What famous scientist was born on Pi Day?
If you need to know the outside diameter of a pipeline, and don’t have an exposed end, this is how you do it. Please click here for a short 2 minute video on this easy task. Let the Lufkin diameter tape do the work for you. There’s no need to use a bulky caliper or micrometer. There is also no need to divide the circumference by pi. A simple pocket-sized diameter tape is all you need. Here is How to measure the diameter of a pipe.
