Every gallon of clean water depends on pipeline integrity. Water infrastructure diameter measurement requires accuracy that meets AWWA standards while withstanding the demands of field conditions.
Since 1944, Pi-Tape has delivered the precision that municipal utilities and infrastructure contractors trust to keep communities safe. When public health is on the line, Pi-Tape delivers confidence.
Water transmission and distribution systems operate under constant pressure, making dimensional accuracy critical for leak prevention and system longevity. A diameter deviation of even a fraction of an inch can compromise joint integrity, accelerate corrosion, and lead to catastrophic failures.
Aging infrastructure compounds these challenges. With many North American water mains exceeding 50 years of service, accurate measurement during inspection, rehabilitation, and replacement is essential. Municipalities face increasing regulatory scrutiny under AWWA standards for pipe specification, installation, and condition assessment.
Measurement errors translate directly to water loss, contamination risk, and costly emergency repairs. Precision diameter data supports accurate material ordering, proper fitting selection, and reliable leak detection.
Pi-Tapes measure water mains from 6" to 144"+ with direct diameter readout, eliminating calculation errors on large steel, concrete, and ductile iron pipe.
Stainless steel construction resists moisture, soil contact, and chemical exposure encountered in excavation sites and treatment facilities
Flexible tape conforms to corroded surfaces, scale buildup, and rehabilitated linings to capture true outside diameter despite surface irregularities.
Digital Pi-Tapes enable instant data capture for AWWA compliance records, asset management databases, and condition assessment reports.
Measuring steel and concrete cylinder pipe diameters during condition assessment to detect wall loss and corrosion progression.
Verifying pipe dimensions before slip-lining, pipe bursting, or cured-in-place liner installation.
Confirming ductile iron and PVC pipe diameters meet AWWA C900/C905 specifications before installation.
Ensuring gate valves, tees, and reducers match specified pipe diameters for proper joint assembly.
Measuring pump casings, impeller housings, and discharge piping during maintenance and replacement.
Verifying inlet and outlet pipe dimensions on elevated tanks, reservoirs, and clearwells.
Water infrastructure measurement demands tools built for demanding field conditions and large pipe sizes. These Pi-Tape solutions address the unique requirements of municipal and utility applications
