How To Measure Layflat Tubing

When you’re ready to place an order, obtaining accurate measurements is crucial to ensure your product fits correctly. Undeniably, this process can be surprisingly challenging with plastic tubing. 

Measure At Its Widest Point

It’s important to measure the diameter of the item at its widest point. If the product is evenly sized, then you can simply measure it anywhere.

But when the product is uneven, that’s when it becomes tricky. For example, the diameter of a bread loaf may vary depending on where you measure it. 

Formula

Here is the formula to accurately determine the correct width measurement:

phi for diameter calculation of layflat tubingMultiply Diameter x 3.1416 (pi) x .5

For instance, if the diameter of a product at its widest point is 5 inches, then the width of the flat poly tubing should be greater than: 5″ x 3.1416 x 0.5 = 7.87″ 

Applications

Various industries use flat poly tubing as a versatile solution because of its flexibility and practicality that make it an ideal choice for countless applications. Following are a few examples:
