You should not guess or use your “calibrated eyeball” as one of our salesmen used to tell me. This is like the old saying "Measure Twice, Cut Once".
5 Reasons to Measure with calipers that measure the inside diameter and the outside diameter:
-
Wasted Time - customer, employee
-
Wasted Material - hose, fittings, pumps, tools
-
Extra Expense - freight and payroll add up fixing mistakes
-
More Downtime – loss of productivity
-
Customer Loyalty - customers depend on you to be the expert and get it right the first time
