For example, a fashion designer or stream-stress may prefer to use a colored cloth tape with the standard US marks of inches on one side only. While a professional contractor might prefer a tape measure marked in metric units because of their international supplier. The majority of tapes available in the United States make use of measuring units, like feet or inches. But in Europe and Asia the measuring units are very different, they honor the metric units.
Although, some tailors prefer to use a customized tape which emphasis the yardage markings instead of the standard inches. A customized yardage marking makes it easier for the tailor to read the measurement and avoid mistakes. You will find this type of tape at your local fabric store. Professional tailors and sewing hobbyists prefer cloth or fiber glass tape with standard length ranging from 60 inches to 120 inches. Fashion designers or alternation shops use the standard fiberglass tapes for simple task such as making a shirt, altering a dress or hemming a pair of jeans. Next time you go to the mall or the dry clean notice the stream-stresses, they usually have a cloth or fiberglass tape measure wrapped around their neck.
Steel-blade retractor measuring tapes are commonly utilized by carpenter, contractor and interior designers to measure an object. The tape is stiff, curved metallic ribbon that can remain stiff and straight when extended, but retracts into a coil for convenient storage. This type of tape measure will have a floating hook against the measurement starting point.The average measurement of a steel-blade tape ranges from three foot to fifty foot long. This type of tape is sold in your local hardware stores or the mall. The steel-blade also has a lock button. The lock button allows the carpenter to actually view the measurement of the object without having to hold the measuring tape.
The next tape measure is the Reel tape. The reel tape is very different from the steel-blade retractor or tailor tape, it utilizes a blade that's thin and very flexible. Many hobbyist and craftsmen are typical users of this tape because it gives an exact measurement in distance a lot longer than a retractable tape. The blades on this tape ranges from fifty to three hundred feet long made with thin fiberglass or plastic. The housing of a reel tape is different; it has three prongs that will hold the blades together leaving the blades exposed. The size is also different, it's much bigger than a steel-blade tape measure, and you definitely cannot use this tape as a keychain or a promotional tool to promote your business.
A Tape Measure must always be convenient as it is a unique tool for the Construction and Industrial professional. Tape Measures are extremely flexible and allows one to measure around curves or corners.
