PI Tape

The round and cylindrical products can be measured and assessed in a variety of ways. The diameter of these products is an important factor that should be measured to make them more functional. If you are looking for an accurate testing instrument to measure the diameter of products like PET & Preform bottles, containers, etc. then you must make use of Presto PI tape. Presto’s PI Tape is an outer diameter measurement gauge that is used to measure the diameter of cylindrical items like PET & Preform bottles, cylindrical containers, jars, etc. in one single measurement. The testing equipment is fabricated with high-quality steel material. The PI Tape is designed especially for PET & Preform testing laboratories to measure the diameters of bottles and cylindrical containers to offer reliable services for many years. The measurement tape offers measurements in metric units.

The main purpose of using this amazing testing instrument is to provide an accurate measurement of diameters of cylindrical products. PI Tape is a highly accurate measurement tool that is made up of 1095 clock spring steel. These tapes require minimum maintenance. It is necessary to ensure that the tape has not been kinked or dented. This can affect the correctness of the tape. PI Tape gages are valuable tools widely used in the aerospace field as well as in the plastic pipe industry. Moreover, the PI tape is used in numerous fields to fulfill various purposes of measurements. With the help of this testing instrument, you will be able to master yourself in measuring and identifying container and closure finishes.

With the help of this testing instrument, you can easily perform quick and easy measurements of the diameter of cylindrical products like PET and Preform bottles and get highly accurate testing results. Presto is a leading manufacturer of this testing instrument and measures round specimens. When you purchase the main unit of this testing instrument, then you will get two main components. The first one includes the template/ Vernier scale and the second one includes the gauge scale.

This testing instrument by Presto will help you to measure the outside diameters of the product accurately. You can simply wrap these tapes outside the cylindrical objects and read the diameter scale side. This testing tape has been made with high-strength steel.

If you want to conduct the test with the help of PI tape, then you can do this by placing the object near the tape for which diameter needs to be measured. The Vernier scale should be just below the gauge scale. Ensure that the sample is aligned appropriately on the outer diameter of the circular sample in such a manner that the gauge is kept flat against the Vernier scale. Locate the “zero” on the Vernier scale and note the highest value achieved on the gauge scale above it (the highest value to the left of the zero). In this way, you can easily conduct the test, with the help of this testing instrument.

If you want to maintain this testing instrument for a longer time, then we suggest you to get clean it thoroughly when not in use. You can use a soft cloth for cleaning and apply light rust preventive oil for cleaning. You should always keep the tape in the container when not in use. This will prevent the tape from reacting to other environmental elements. There will be no periodic adjustments will be needed in this tape. You should make sure that the tape is not been stepped on or kinked. This is because doing this will destroy its accuracy. The instruments manufactured by Presto are made by keeping all industry standards in mind. All our instruments have been sold by having thorough inspections by the team of our quality control experts. Whenever you operate this testing instrument, then you should make the use of instruction manual provided with the purchase of our testing equipment. If you want more information about this product, then you can call or email us. We will be there to help you out.
