Use it for HVAC ductwork
installations, ceiling grid applications,
metal stud framing, fencing installation,
and more. A powerful magnet and
self-supporting 1” wide blade makes
one person measurements
and measuring elevations an easy task.
To read a metric measuring tape,
find the nearest whole centimeter
to the end point. Examine the remaining
indicator lines to see how many millimeters
are left over. Add those to the whole centimeters,
using a decimal. For example,
say you measure 20 whole centimeters
and there are 6 millimeter marks left over.
The metric system is usually the
bottom row and will contain smaller
numbers, while the imperial system
is usually the top row and contains
larger numbers. For extra confirmation,
you can also check for letter labels
that say “cm” or “meter”/“m”
since those are metric measurements.
A magnetic tape drive is a
storage device that makes
use of magnetic tape as a medium
for storage. It uses a long strip of narrow
plastic film with tapes of thin
magnetizable coating.
Put simply 1 = 1", 2 = 2" and so on.
Between those numbers are a series
of shorter marks which represent
fractions of an inch. The mark directly
in the middle of the inch denotes a
measurment of 1/2" whilst the markings
either side of it represent measurements
of 1/4" and 3/4" respectively.
