Being ultra pedantic - it's circular. Circumference.

Not in its working state - Perimeter

They are listed and sold by their diameters. If they have a diameter their perimeter is their circumference.

I've never bought one but I thought that they were sold by their length, just as Band-saw blades are. It would be odd to specify a diameter when that dimension cannot be measured.

If you are correct I'll concede the point

Having worked with belts and having to measure them they use to be measured by the inner circumference

the link i put on here has inside and outside measurements

Truce. I seem to remember buying them by diameter, but I was looking at the posts above. I'm quite often wrong. My last post disappeared into the ether.
