Abstract: An apparatus for measuring pipe or conduit which temporarily secures one end of a tape measure to an end of a pipe or conduit. The apparatus includes a main body (10) body secured in place by means of a finger operated lock mechanism (60). A bracket (44) with a slot (46) for receiving one end of a measuring tape (66) is attached to one end of a rod (38), the other end of the rod being inserted into a receptacle (36) on an adjustable support arm (30). The adjustable support arm (30) is inserted into one of several measurement ports in main body (10) and is positioned for taking a measurement along the length of the pipe or conduit, or along an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis running between the ends of the pipe or conduit, or in any other direction away from the pipe or conduit.
