two telephone poles.
C to C) measure the distance between them from the center of one pole to the center of the other pole.
E to C) take a saw and cut one pole off at the bottom. it falls so it is facing directly at the other pole. measure from the cut end of the pole to the center of the standing pole.
developed length) cut both pole down. they fall not exactly facing eachother but they crisscross forming a "V". using the centerline of a pole, measure from the bottom of one pole along it's length. when you get to the point where they cross, keep measuring until you get to the bottom of the other pole.

I am not sure if you are asking how to measure the distances or how to cut the pipe once you have the measurement. C-c is just what it says, from the center of one pipe to the center of the other. End to center is from where the pipe starts, usually inside a fitting to the center of the target pipe. Once you have the dimension, then you have to determine how much to subtract for the distance between the end of the pipe inside the fitting to the center of the fitting. You do not have to cut down telephone poles to make sample measurements, Sequoia redwood trees will work the same way.

I think what you want to do is determine the thickness of the pipes walls, add them together, then subtract the holes between the walls; that should give you the true sum. unless you are measuring them long wise, I just wing it and keep cutting off bits until they fit. Hope this helps.

You must be related to the guy who came into the shop for a piece of pipe one time. He needed 34 inches and 7 of those little marks.

He must have been using one of the old Lufkin folding rulers that both sides started from the same end .

In MA, I guess "an inch" is close enough then? An inch could make a difference if you are driving over a bridge with your girlfriend in the car.
