How to use it

  1. Enter inner diameter.
  2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
  3. Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.

How it is calculated

Second number = (diameter ÷ 25.4 − 2) × 16, rounded to the nearest even number from 2 to 14.

Example

Inputs: Inner diameter = 57 mm. Result: Nearest size: 2-4; Diameter of that size: 57.15 mm; Difference from yours: 0.15 mm.

Limits and caveats

  • This is a common trade convention, not an international standard.
  • Measure inside, not outside; the metal thickness changes the result.

Questions about this tool

My bangle is 57 mm inside. What size?

The nearest size is 2-4, which is 57.15 mm.

I am between two sizes. Which one?

Take the larger one if bangles pass over your knuckles with difficulty.

Why only even numbers?

Most shops stock even sizes like 2-2, 2-4 and 2-6; odd ones are rare.
