pipe sizeing tool

[Latte]

anyone know where you can get the flat metal tools for sizeing up pipework. HRP & NRS used to keep them but no longer do.
they were a lot easier to see what pipe the pipe size of something was instead of trying to measure it or carry lots of small lengths of pipe

[Dan]

Try blindfolding yourself. Then pick up pieces of pipe and guess what sizes they are. It shouldn't take long, and you will never need a tool other than your hands.

NRS have got them on there web site at 95 pence:)

Can you post a picture of those tools because i never heard of those before?
What is exactly the purpose of it?

[Argus]

It is a gauge that measures the outer diameter of the pipe against a graduated scale.

Dan is right - with experience you soon get to know the sizes by looking at them.

It is a little more difficult when dealing with capillary tubes, but I use to have a small vernier calliper for those occasions.
