Determine the Band Size

1. To calculate band or sleeve sizes, you need to calculate the Lay Flat Width and the Cut Length. To do this:

The Lay Flat Width = Diameter in millimeters + 2
Millimeters x 1.57
Example: 100mm diameter + 2mm = 102mm
X 1.57 = 160mm

2. To convert inches to millimeters:
25.4 millimeters = 1 inch
Example: 5 inches x 25.4 = 127 millimeters

3. To Convert millimeters to inches:
1 inch – 25.4 millimeters
Example: 127 millimeters divided by 25.4 = 5 inches

4. To calculate the diameter when the circumference (distance around the product) is known:
Diameter = Circumference divided by 3.1416
Example: 300 millimeters circulference divided by 3.1416 =
95.49 millimeters in diameter
