Italian term or phrase: bandella metrica
Hi everyone,

A bit of a nightmare one today with a lack of useful context!

I've got a document describing an operation for cutting copper pipes and hairpins. The "strumento di controllo" is a "bandella metrica".

Any idea what this is?!

Reference: bandella

Reference information:
I found it in my Marolli dictionary under "bandella" (but no" bindella"). I have used it as "strap" but need more context here.
