Abstract
A drill pipe measuring system for efficiently and safely measuring drill pipe on an oil derrick. The drill pipe measuring system generally includes a main member, a tongue member extending outwardly from the main member, a retaining member having a groove that slidably receives the tongue member to secure a measuring tape adjacent to the tongue member and a securing member that is movably attached to an upper end of the main member to selectively retain a hook piece of the measuring tape. The securing member includes a pivot pin that the securing member pivots about and a locking member. When the locking member is in a released state, the securing member is allowed to move with respect to the main member. When the locking member is in the locked state, the securing member is prevented from moving with respect to the main member.
