Construction Details
The Gruvlok Diameter Tape Measure uses a flexible wrap-around design that allows the tape to follow the circumference of round pipe for convenient outside-diameter checking.
Its compact format makes it easy to carry to fabrication areas and jobsites where pipe dimensions need to be checked before grooving, coupling installation, or system assembly.
Because grooved piping systems depend on properly prepared pipe, checking the pipe outside diameter is an important part of confirming that the pipe is suitable for the intended Gruvlok connection.
Tool Use & Typical Applications
Diameter Tape Use
- Wrap around the pipe OD
- Keep the tape flat and straight
- Check the diameter reading
- Compare with required pipe OD
- Recheck before pipe preparation
Typical Applications
- Grooved piping fabrication
- Fire protection piping
- Mechanical piping systems
- Pipe preparation inspection
- Field installation checks
Use & Selection Considerations
- Measure on a clean pipe surface.
- Keep the tape square to the pipe.
- Remove twists before reading.
- Verify OD before grooving.
- Follow Gruvlok groove specifications.
