What is a long tape?
Long tape is usually a level of tape, which is at least 100 feet long (30.48 meters). The average tape used on the construction site has a length of 25 feet (7.62 meters). There is usually a long tape in a work box or on a tool box that is used when long measurements need to be performed. Difficult measurements, such as waiting for a wall or floor, are carried out by means of a long tape to cross the structure. Partly due to the occasional use of long tape, the tape material is usually fiberglass made of glass fibers instead of typical metal to prevent rust and gluing when the tape is pulled out.
rather than using an automatic spring search system similar to those used on smaller tape measurements, uses a long tape that allows the operator to complete the tape when completed with a task. This is done partly due to the size of the spring, which would be automatically reinforced back up. Speed generated by long tape would automatically beAlso dangerous to users. This speed could also potentially damage the tape, which makes it unnecessary at the site of work.
The earliest versions of the long tape were designed using a fabric tape. This type of tape allowed a slight amount of stretching, which would reduce the rate of accuracy of the long tape. In addition to the section, the water would also penetrate the tape and create a heavy tape that would bend and change the measurement. The inability of the fabric tape to register the correct values of the consistent base led to the development of the glass tape.
By implementing glass fiber tapes into a long measuring device, precise measurements can now be performed under water. The use of a metal tape would not allow this type of measurement without causing the tape to eventually rust and become unusable. Improvement in the design of the tape case caused rust and corrosion a thing of the past. Heavy plastic and fibrous glass were merged with cosmic age polymersU and alloy to form a tape case that is almost impermeable for damage to the elements of nature.
There is no compensation for accuracy in the construction industry. Measurements are perhaps the only most critical step in the construction of any project. When measuring on a very long span, a short measuring tool will not be used again and again as accurate as the use of one long tape.
