Dimensions:
All the following dimensions are outside.
The rear diameter to be 4"
The circumference will be 4" * pi = 12.5714"
The front dimensions will be:
Width & diameter = 2"
The 2 half circumferences will be 2" * pi = 6.2857"
The length of a straight vertical = (12.5714–6.2857)/2 = 3.1429"
The height at the nose will be 2" + 3.1429" = 5.1429"
The wall thickness will be approximately 5/32" (0.15625")
The length will be approximately 58".
Unidirectional tape @ 45 degrees:
Diagonal dimension = sq-rt.(2 * 12.5714 squared) = 17.7786"
For 45 degrees tape will be 4.4447" wide, if interlaced.
For 45 degrees tape will be 8.8894" wide, if layered =45/-45.
