Not a direct answer... but I use a piece of 3/8" rope to measure when I don't know belt length. Put the adjustment in the middle, wrap the rope around the pattern, mark and measure. This gets it close. My local AP store will let me try a set of belts and if I need one size smaller or bigger, exchange for full credit.

What Ahy does, and some brands of belts you can cross the part number to get what length it is (ask your parts house)
