Measuring a hot water cylinder

hairyslug

This is going to sound like a very stupid question and very basic but here goes.

I need a new lagging jacket for my hot water cylinder, I've measured the circumference (53") and height, top to bottom (22") however all of the jackets I see are 30" x18", 36" x 18" and 42" x 18".

Am I measuring the tank wrong?

Thanks

Divide circumference by pi to get diameter, should be around 18"

Edit: 16.87, I'd go with the first one

A cylinder 22" high?? Sounds extremely small. The smallest jacket you'll get is 30"x18"

Cheers I'll check again but yeah it looks very small, much smaller than my own, the one in question is for my parents house

Maybe it was very old. Either way a 30x18 jacket will work fine.
