THE MEASURING PRINCIPLE
OF THE ARCHIMEDE HR
The Archimede is a measuring instrument which detects a circumference passing
through the three points of tangency (ABC) between the cylinder to be measured and
the instrument support points.
This type of measurement offers advantages in terms of:
1 • Possibility to measures outside diameters from 500 to 6000 mm with a
single instrument and with a single person,
2 • Possibility to perform measurements of internal diameters from 1000
to 6000 mm with a single instrument and with a single person,
3 • Possibility to perform up to 12 measurements on the same circumference and
consequently obtain the values of the average diameter.
