Knowing the diameter values for +/- one standard deviation is only going to account for 68.26% of the data...Perhaps this knowledge can help you figure out how to account for the rest of the data in the normal distribution so that you are accounting for 99.73% of the data (+/- 3 sigma). It's been so long since I've dealt with this type stuff....strange how those percentages have always stuck in my mind.....
