4. TAPING EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES
Surveyor’s and engineer’s tapes
Made of steel
1/4 to 3/8 in. wide and
Weigh 2 to 3 lbs/100 ft.
Invar tapes
Made of a special nickel-steel alloy (35% nickel and 65%
steel)
Thermal coefficient of expansion and contraction of this
material is only about 1/30 to 1/60 that of an ordinary steel
tape.
Suitable only for precise geodetic work and as a standard for
comparison with working tapes.
Lovar tape,
Has properties and a cost between those of steel and Invar
tapes.
5. TAPING EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES – Cont’d
Cloth (or metallic) tapes are actually
Made of high-grade linen, with fine copper wires running
lengthwise
5/8 in. wide
Fiberglass tapes
A variety of sizes and lengths and are usually wound on a
reel.
Employed for the same types of work as metallic tapes.
Chaining pins or taping pins
Used to mark tape lengths
Made of number 12 steel wire, sharply pointed at one end,
have a round loop at the other end, and are painted with
alternate red and white bands
Sets of 11 pins carried on a steel ring are standard.
6. TAPING EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES – Cont’d
The hand level
Used to keep the tape ends at equal elevations
Tension handles
Facilitate the application of a desired standard or known
tension
A complete unit consists of:
A wire handle,
A clip to fit the ring end of the tape, and
A spring balance reading up to 30 lb in 1/2-lb graduations
Clamp handles
Used to apply tension by a positive, quick grip using a
scissors-type action on any part of a steel tape
Do not damage the tape and prevent injury to hands and the
tape
7. TAPING EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES – Cont’d
A pocket thermometer
Permits reading data for making temperature corrections.
About 5 in. long, graduated from perhaps to in 1° or 2°
divisions, and kept in a protective metal case
Range poles (lining rods)
Made of wood, steel, or aluminum
About 1 in. thick and 6 to 10 ft long
Round or hexagonal in cross section and
Marked with alternate 1-ft long red and white bands
Used to mark the line being measured
Plumb bobs for taping
Should weigh a minimum of 8 oz and have a fine point
At least 6 ft of good-quality string or cord, free of knots, is
necessary
8. CARE OF TAPING EQUIPMENT
Consider it your homework. Read, understand and
handwrite article 6.10
12. SOURCES OF ERROR IN TAPING
Incorrect length of tape
Temperature other than standard
Inconsistent pull
Sag
Tape not horizontal and tape off-line
Improper plumbing
Faulty marking
Incorrect reading or interpolation
Summary of effects of taping errors
15. TAPE PROBLEMS
Measure with a tape that is too long,
Measure with a tape that is too short,
Lay off with a tape that is too long, and
Lay off with a tape that is too short
16. COMBINED CORRECTIONS IN A TAPING PROBLEM
A 30-m steel tape standardized at 20°C and supported
throughout under a tension of 5.45 kg was found to be
30.012 m long. The tape had a cross-sectional area of
0.050 cm2 and a weight of 0.03967 kg/m. This tape was
held horizontal, supported at the ends only, with a constant
tension of 9.09 kg, to measure a line from A to B in three
segments. The data listed in the following table were
recorded. Apply corrections for tape length, temperature,
pull, and sag to determine the correct length of the line.
