Pipe Pit Gauge
The Pipe Pit Gauge fits neatly into the leather case and can be easily carried in one’s pocket. It will serve as a constant guide for judging the condition of the pipe. Useful formulas, tables, and data giving O.D., wall thickness, and weight per foot for various pipes are etched on the gauge. It should be in the hands of every field superintendent, engineer, or foreman working with pipe.
The pit gauge is made of 0.50″ highly polished stainless steel – is about 2-11/16″ wide and 5-1/4″ long, which is vest-pocket size. The indicator arm has a stylus that fits into the pits of pipe being measured. A guide is fastened to the gauge to protect and guide the indicator arm. The scale on the right of the guide is shown as an arc and is expressed in sixteenths of an inch and in mils (thousandths of an inch). The gauge weighs 8 ounces.
