The scale is marked to give you the diameter, even though it is wrapped around the circumference. That&#8217;s because the diameter scale is stretched out by a factor of pi (3.14159). That&#8217;s how this special tape makes life simpler for all these users. The workers don&#8217;t have to use a regular tape measure and divide by pi.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1572\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.advantage-advertising.com\/diameter-tapes.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1572 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.advantage-advertising.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/diameter-tape-measure-1-300x244.png\" alt=\"Diameter Tape Measure\" width=\"300\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.advantage-advertising.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/diameter-tape-measure-1-300x244.png 300w, https:\/\/www.advantage-advertising.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/diameter-tape-measure-1.png 362w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">W906PD Lufkin Diameter Tape, Inches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people don&#8217;t know what a Diameter Tape Measure is.
