There is no aspect of tubemaking that is not
governed by precision: the correspondence
between the workpiece and the requirements it is
meant to satisfy.
While the specialist tasks considered here
are not more precision-centred than others in
tubemaking practice, measuring and marking do
bear responsibility for communicating the most
basic information in all of commerce: What is this?
How much of it are we talking about? Only after
scrupulously accurate measurement – and with the
markings that are the pledge of traceability – is a
production run of first-quality tubing ready for the next
step, whether that be further processing or clearance
for delivery to the customer.
