We see here that the diameter shown by our pi tape is around 6.6 to 6.7 cm. To find out it's diameter using the pi tape, just wrap it around the circumference and the point which coincides to the 0 reading is the diameter.īut wait. Here I've taken the lid of a container whose diameter I know to be exactly 6.5 cm. This is to test if our pi tape is working. Now take a circular object whose diameter is known to you. Now when we divide it by π, we're just canceling out the π terms and the number left directly gives the diameter! Let's make it to find out if it works. So we can make a tape with π divisions instead. To solve this problem, we can measure the circumference of the cup instead.īecause we know that the circumference of a circle is πD, we can obtain the diameter by dividing the circumference by π.īut π has a lot of digits after the decimal place (3.14159265358979.) and even just using 3.14 will make calculations hard if you don't have a calculator at that moment. But wait! The cup is hollow and you don't know where the center is. So in order to measure the diameter, you'll need to place your ruler on the top of the cup in such a way that it touches the center of the circle. We know that the diameter is the circle's largest chord and it always passes through the center of the circle. This is not to say it cant be used like a normal tape measure and it's true zero tip allows for external measurements too.Suppose you want to measure the diameter of a cup. Points Of Measurement - The Gatortape comes into its own when taking internal measurements, placing the back plate against one surface and extending the blade to the other takes the guess work out of internal measurements.
High Visibility Blade Design - Accuracy is at the heart of Gatortape and you can always be sure of the reading with Class 1 precision (+/- 1.1mm over 10m) and bright high visibility markings on a black background making everything as clear as can be.ĥ. Powerful Snout Lock - Locking in a measurement can sometimes be a pain, the design of the Gatortape ensures the body is always sitting comfortably in your hand with a finger on the snout to lock in the measurement.Ĥ. The back plate also allows the Gatortape to self support for vertical measurementsģ. Stable Back Plate - When taking accurate measurements, you need to ensure that you are taking measurements perpendicular to the measuring surface, that's why we designed the back plate to ensure this.
Extending the blade, the measurement is clearly displayed in the viewing window and can be estimated to fractions of a millimetreĢ. Top Mounted Window - When designing the Gatortape we wanted to make measuring easy. if you need for info please read our blog hereġ. GATORTAPE is available in 3 blade styles, Metric only, Imperial Only or Dual (Metric and Imperial). The GATORTAPE® is a one-of-a-kind tool which all trades and DIYers can use join #TEAMGATOR today! Our Uniquely designed CLASS 1 Blades and Top Viewing Window makes every measurement deadly accurate, reassuring you the measurement is true. Offering a 25mm wide and 5m long blade gives you a 2.2m/7FT+ Standout. Ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, along with our Snout Lock Technology, the GATORTAPE® makes measuring easy for everyone. The GATORTAPE® is like no other tape measure.
