    Diameter-Measuring Tape Measures

    Wrap around duct, pipe, and other cylindrical objects to find their diameter without complex calculations. These tape measures are ideal for already mounted objects since you don't need to take your system apart. Also known as tree tapes.
    Standard Scale
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tape Measures. Diameter-Measuring Tape Measures, Standard Scale.
    Take math out of the equation completely. After wrapping the blade around an object, find the number that overlaps with zero—that's your diameter.
    Automatic Blade Return Type—The blade zips back into the case when you let go.
    Manual Blade Return Type—Guide the blade back by hand or using the wheel on the side of the case.
    Nonlocking Blade Lock—Pull the blade out and hold it in place between your fingers. These free-moving tape measures are best for taking frequent, small measurements.
    Coated Steel Blade—A coating on the blade prevents the graduations from wearing or scratching off.
    Chrome-Plated Steel Blade—Our most durable blades. The hard chrome plating guards them from scratches, wear, and rust.

    Vernier Scale with Calibration Certificate
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tape Measures. Diameter-Measuring Tape Measures, Vernier Scale.
    Our most precise diameter-measuring tape measures. Wind the blade around your object until the top scale aligns with the bottom vernier scale, then add the values together to find your diameter. These tape measures include a calibration certificate traceable to NIST, so you can be confident your measurements are correct and consistent.
    Stainless Steel Blade—The choice for outdoor and wet environments, these blades won't rust if rinsed or rained on.
    Blue Blade—White markings pop against the blue background, so you can read these tape measures in dimly lit areas.

    For quick diameter measurements on the go, these tape measures are as small as a pack of gum to tuck into your pocket. There's no math involved—just wrap the blade around your cable, pipe, or other cylindrical object. The number that overlaps with zero is your diameter. These tape measures are ideal for already mounted objects since you don't need to take your system apart. Also known as tree tapes.
    Automatic Blade Return Type—The blade zips back into the case when you let go.
    Nonlocking Blade Lock—Pull the blade out and hold it in place between your fingers. These free-moving tape measures are best for taking frequent, small measurements.
    Chrome-Plated Metal Case—Choose metal cases for your toughest industrial jobs, from construction to machining. These cases resist breaking due to hard hits and drops. However, they're heavier to carry around than plastic cases.
