How much upward curve adds to measurments?

Heya!

So most of us measure BPEL with a ruler. This does not take upward curve into consideration.

Usually how much upward curve adds to your measurments? Not talking here about some really big curve.

Do you have an upward curve? You can try buying a flexible ruler to measure. With that you could lay it flat along the curve to get a more accurate measurement.

It's important to measure along the curve. Just like driving on a curved road, you don't measure "as the crow flies"- you measure the distance you'll be driving

That's why measuring with a string or flexible tape is best.

By flexible tape you mean tailors tape?
