Frame/Pedestal Diameter Outside (Dimensions)

Definition:

Observations:

1. The outside diameter of the frame/pedestal corresponds to the measurement of the longest straight line through the centre from one side to the other of a two-dimensional circular object or the removable cylindrical or rounded base of a three-dimensional object.
2. You should generally be facing the main side of the object to measure its dimensions. Refer to the "How to measure objects" section of the Guide.
3. This field is used in conjunction with the Unit Linear field.
4. Dimensions should always be expressed in centimetres, except when the object is too large or too small.

Entry rules:

1. Enter a single measurement, in real numbers.
   Example

   	Unit Linear	cm
   	Frame/Pedestal Diameter Outside	29.33

2. Details regarding measurements and comments about partial or questionable measurements should be noted in the Dimension/Weight Remarks field.
   Example

   	Unit Linear	cm
   	Frame/Pedestal Diameter Outside	9.21
   	Dimension/Weight Remarks	The outside diameter of the frame is questionable.
