Measuring Pipe Sizes with the TIK-C585 Pipe Caliper

Posted by BIP on 9th Jul 2015

Figuring out what the "pipe size" of a particular pipe is not always as easy as you would think.  The smaller the pipe, the smaller the difference between outside diameter measurements between pipe sizes.  There are many calipers and other gizmos that will easily tell you the outside diameter of the pipe, however our Pipe Caliper will tell you the "Pipe Size" rather than the diameter.  This tool will eliminate the conversion from the outside diameter to the pipe size which is very handy for pipe insulators.  Continue reading to learn how to measure pipe sizes using the TIK-C585 Pipe Caliper!

EASY TO USE:

The TIK-C585 Pipe Caliper is extremely simple to use.  Simply put the pipe caliper around the pipe, close the wing so the pipe is touching all three points.  The moveable wing will read out what the "Pipe Size" of the pipe is.  It will provide an IPS (Iron Pipe Size) or CWT (Copper Water Tube) pipe size.  Click here for a detailed guide on how to use the pipe caliper

WHO COULD USE THIS TOOL?

The number one user for this tool is pipe insulators because they order pipe insulation based on the pipe size and the TIK-C585 pipe caliper makes ordering very simple.  Also pipe insulators are dealing with older piping, or new piping that they did not install themselves, so they do not know the pipe sizes off hand. Besides insulators, this tool is used by plumbers, mechanical contractors, draftsmen, architects, and engineers.
