If your object is not tubular (convert circumference to diameter):
- Just put a tape, band or similar around your object to measure the circumference (in millimeter).
- Then use simple math: Divide the measured circumference by 3.14. The result will be the diameter in mm.
- Example: You measured a circumference of 40 mm. You divide 40 mm by 3.14 and get the result of 12.73 mm. Now choose a sleeving size, which covers a diameter range that includes the measured diameter of 12.73 mm.
Important to remember: The weave of the cable sleeving will have a maximum coverage („not seeing the color of the object underneath“) close to its maximum and minimum diameters. In the middle of its expansion range, the weave is opened the most.
Congratulations!
With all the important theory completed, let’s go sleeving.
