How do I measure cylinder for lagging jacket. Thanks
To measure a cylinder for a lagging jacket, follow these steps:
Height Measurement: Measure the height of the cylinder from the base to the top. If there are any fittings or protrusions, measure to the top of those.
Circumference Measurement: Use a flexible measuring tape to measure around the widest part of the cylinder. You can also calculate the circumference using the diameter if you have that measurement:
Diameter Measurement: If needed, measure the diameter of the cylinder by placing the measuring tape across the center of the cylinder.
Add Extra: Consider adding a few centimeters to your measurements for overlap or adjustments, especially if the jacket will be wrapped tightly.
Note Fittings: If there are any valves, flanges, or other fittings, make sure to note their locations and sizes for proper cutouts in the lagging jacket.
