Surveyors Tape Measure - 50m

Product Information

Whatever the use, they’re ideal for common use and suitable for long distance/outdoor measurements compared to a standard tape measure. That said, there’s some important things to look for and consider when buying online but don’t worry, we have you covered with a buyers guide below. To help you with choosing the best surveyors tape for you, we’ve reviewed the best 6 on the market right now. Cloth tape, also known as Linen tape is a varnished strip made of closely woven linen. The width of the strip is about 12 to 16 mm. It is available in different lengths such as 10m, 20m, 30m, and 50m. Both ends of the linen tape are provided with metallic handles and the whole tape is wounded in leather or metal case. A lot of Land Surveyors prefer a Linen Tape because Linen tapes are light in weight and easy to handle. These tapes may shrink when exposed to water and also elongate when pulled. Hence, these tapes are not suitable for accurate surveying measurements. These are generally used for measuring offsets and for ordinary works. A woven metallic tape is an improved version of linen tape. Brass or copper made wires are used as reinforcement for the linen material. Hence, it is more durable than normal linen tape. A brass ring is provided at the end of the tape which is included in the length of the tape. Woven metallic tapes are are available in different lengths of 2m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 30m, and 50m. These are used for survey works such as topographical survey works where minor errors are not taken into consideration. It’s something most tradespeople take for granted, but when you’re in the market for a new tape measure, did you know some are m...

Leica’s top selling laser meter is one of the best value and most versatile measuring devices on the market, making it an ideal choice... For those of you who need accurate measurements, whether it be in the garden or for construction purposes, sometimes a basic tape measure isn’t enough. They can be a bit flimsy to use and easily bend/move when moved, so they can actually end up being a real pain. If this sounds like a relatable issue, or if your tape measure just won’t cover a certain job you need to get done, then surveyors tape is for you and this review covers all you need to know about them.As well as this, if you’re really not fussed or you’re not sure what you’re going to be using your tape for, a 50m is always a good compromise. If you don’t need to worry about money though, then perhaps it’s worth investing in a 100m tape because, well, why not? It might come in handy. Ergonomics

HKB ® 1 piece measuring tape, 100 m tape measure with fibreglass tape, plastic orange with ergonomic handle, fold-out crank, 2 scales (Best long distance option) Surveyors tape measures also come with two types of cases. The closed reel variety uses a more familiar design whereby the entire blade is encased within a plastic or steel shell thereby protecting the blade against accidental cuts etc. The open reel type, whilst more open to this type of damage, sees the blade held within a frame-style case which is not only lighter and frequently easier to carry, it also allows for much easier cleaning and prevents jamming when rewinding dirty tapes.Surveyors, why buy from The Tape Store? Put simply we know land surveyors need to take quality measurements so, naturally, we provide quality measuring tools. Ever come across a land surveyor without a tape measure? No, we haven’t either. It’s an essential piece of kit for any surveyor, civil or structural engineer... in fact, any construction professional. While some land surveyors believe that a Tape Survey isn't a survey at all and a few others believe Tape Survey to be a meaningless term, actually a Surveyors Tape (sometimes referred to as a Tape Measure) is a valuable tool and Tape Surveys are important, in my opinion. In fact there are more than 5 types of Tapes used in Land Surveying for linear measurements. Surveyors tapes come with a range of blade materials ideal for different purposes. Fibreglass is the most common material used for long tape blades due to its durability, accuracy and, crucially, its resistance to water, tearing and stretching. But steel surveyors tapes are still very popular and far better suited to certain applications. Surveyors tapes are even available in stainless steel although not many manufacturers offer such products. Only you will know which one's right for you!

An integral part of any surveyors’ tape is the hook. The size and shape of hook can vary significantly from one model to another depending on the manufacturer, but a surveyors’ tape will almost always incorporate a foldable metal hook to anchor the tape into soft ground when taking measurements with a level. Finally, if you’re not sure what tape suits your requirements try our Online Tape Assistant or ask a question on online chat for advice from our knowledgeable team, many of whom have extensive surveying and engineering experience. Hook types vary significantly from one manufacturer and model to another but, on the whole, a surveyor's tape will use a metal (frequently coated or stainless steel) hook that folds away for safety whilst extended to hook around an item or anchor into the ground.

A 30-meter fiberglass measuring tape. Cloth & Linen Tapes Steel tapes used in Land Surveying are not flexible and are suitable for measuring leveled surfaces only. They may corrode easily when exposed to moisture and to prevent this tape, it should be cleaned and oiled after every use. These tapes are generally used for standardizing chains, measurements of constriction works, etc. A steel tape is made of steel or stainless steel. It consists of a steel strip of 6mm to 16mm wide. It is available in lengths of 1m, 5m, 8m, 10m, 20m, 30m and 50m. Meters, decimeters, and centimeters are graduated in the steel strip. Steel tapes generally came up with the metal case with automatic winding device. The tape is withdrawn from the case by using a hand during measuring and it is rewound into the case by just pressing button provided on the case. Fibreglass is the most common material used for long tape blades owing to its durability, accuracy and its resistance to water, tearing and stretching. Steel and stainless steel tapes are also extremely popular with land surveyors but are better suited to certain applications than others. These are not common measuring tapes and personally, I have never seen another surveyor use one of these in the field. The only time I have actually seen one of these is in my Dad’s toolbox, which was given to him by his father. Invar Tapes Metal measuring tapes can be either flexible or non-flexible. If you try and measure a curved surface with a non-flexible tape measure you will likely permanently damage the tape. Also if exposed to moisture or retracted with dirt on the tape, this can cause the tape to corrode and affect the recall of the tape.
