Spinnaker Pole end measurement

[muskie]

Hi, I have ordered a 45mm piston pole end from Z Spars early this week and today found out that the diameter was 40mm. Here is there info on the web:

REF, Pole od, Wall THICK, Standard TUBE, Pole LENGTH
45 piston, 45, 2, 2300, 2470

Do you think they give me wrongly or I screw up the measurement? (I can't find the 40mm on their web and 45mm is their smallest pole end.)

I'd guess that you've got a piston end for a 45mm pole (OD) - with a 2mm wall thickness that would make the ID about 40-41mm, which will be the diameter of the end fitting.

<hr width=100% size=1>

Could you please let me know the OD is stand for?

<hr width=100% size=1>

OD = Outside diameter of pole
ID = Internal diameter of pole
so OD = ID + 2 x wall thickness (or there abouts)

<hr width=100% size=1>

From memory

They do a 40mm od extrusion - you've got the one for a 45mm pole.

Send it baCK AND ASK THEM TO CHANGE THEM
