How much do you know about the classification of tape measure

Author:


A tape measure is a commonly used length measuring tool in daily life. Eighty-five percent of the tape measure in the world is produced and exported from China. We often come into contact with two main categories: leather tape measure and steel tape measure. Leather tape measure is divided into length, long leather tape measure is generally used in engineering, the length can reach tens of meters. Short leather tape measure is mainly used in the garment industry and daily life, mainly used to measure body size, waist size and so on. The steel tape measure is mainly used in construction and decoration, and it is also one of the essential tools for the family.
 
How curl works
The tape measure can be rolled up because there is a spring inside the tape measure. When pulling out to measure the length, the length of the ruler and the spring is actually stretched. Once the measurement is completed, the spring in the tape measure will automatically shrink, and the ruler will follow the action of the spring force. Shrink, so the tape measure will roll up. Usually, there is a hook at the front end of the tape measure, which is used for measuring.
 
tape
The fiber tape measure is the tape measure that everyone often sees. Many people say it is a cloth measure, and there is a waist circumference measure (the tailor's ruler/clothing ruler belongs to this category). In southern my country and Hong Kong, the tape measure is usually called a soft ruler or a pull ruler. The material is PVC plastic and fiberglass, which prevents the tape measure from being stretched during use.
A tape measure, usually metric and inch, is 150 cm on one side and 60 inches on the other side. An inch is a commonly used unit of measurement abroad. One inch = 25.4 cm. The size unit of TVs and monitors is inches, which usually refers to the length of the diagonal. And the size of the jeans, also in inches. In China, the commonly used measuring tape is the market size. One side is 150 cm and the other side is 45 inches. Often said 2 feet 1, 2 feet 2 waist, is the city-inch unit. One foot is equal to ten inches, and one meter is equal to three feet, so 1 city inch = 3.333 centimeters.
 
Steel tape
The main types of tape measure are steel tape measure, Luban ruler, Fengshui ruler, and Wen meter are also steel tape measure. There are usually two scale bars on the front of the steel tape measure, the upper part is the inch unit, and the lower part is the metric unit commonly used in our country. Conventional lengths are 3m, 5m, 10m, etc. Now there is a new type of Luban tape measure by adding the traditional Luban ruler to the tape measure, and adding the eight characters to measure the good and bad of the house.
 
interesting design intent
There are some weird and interesting designs on the tape measure, we just don't understand what they are really used for. Here, the editor of Jingmu Machinery would like to introduce some interesting designs on the tape measure for you.
1. There is a hole in the hook of the tape measure
If a careful person has carefully observed the tape measure, they will find that there is a hole in the hook of the tape measure, so what is it used for? That's how it snaps onto the nail, and you don't need another hand, or another person, to hold the tape measure for you. Such a design can greatly improve the measurement efficiency when no particularly precise measurement is required.
 
2. The edge of the tape measure hook is not flat, but toothed
Its usefulness is when you need to draw a line at the place to be measured, but you don't have a pen in your hand. Press and rub it on the position where you need to draw a line for a few times, and you can draw a line to help you identify it. . Some people may say that I can draw a line without a tooth shape, but the editor of Jingmu Machinery can only like it manually!
 
3. What is the function of the numbers of the tape measure shell shell
We often see numbers marked on the tape measure shell, but we don’t know its purpose. For example, the tape measure is marked with the number 58mm, so what is it used for? It actually represents the length of the tape measure housing.
Suppose you measure the length of the window, and you can't read the exact number at all when you reach the corner, then the number marked on the tape measure will play a huge role.
You need to place the tape measure on the same plane, with the outer casing of the tape measure snapped at the very bottom, then read the length on the tape measure, add the length of the tape measure itself, and you have the exact length of this distance.
 
4. What is the function of the back button on the tape measure?
Like many old-fashioned keychains, the back button on the tape measure is primarily for carrying. In many construction sites and measurement sites, the operator can directly hang it on the belt or pocket after the measurement, and then continue other operations. When you use it again, you can take it as you go, which is convenient and quick.
 
5. The tape measure hook can be moved
Many friends who have used a tape measure may find that the front hook of the tape measure can be moved, and even question the quality of the product or the accuracy of the measurement. In fact, the hooks that can be moved in a small range are the good intentions of the designers. The flexibility of the tape measure hook is a very important quality requirement for the tape measure.
In fact, when using a tape measure to measure the outer diameter of an object, you need to pull the tape measure back, so that the measurement result is accurate. If you measure the inner diameter of an object, the tape measure hook itself has a thickness, and you need to retract this movable distance back. This is why the front end of the tape measure is designed to be flexible.
