Standard steel tape measure What is a steel tape measure? What is it used for?
A steel tape measure is also called a box rule. It is an ordinary measuring tool for measuring length. According to the different structure of its tape box, the tape measure is divided into four kinds of self-rolling tape measure, brake type tape measure, shake the tape box type tape measure and shake the tape frame type tape measure. Self-rolling tape measure and braking tape measure are mostly below 5m tape measure; the nominal length of rocking tape measure and rocking tape measure is more than 5m. Steel tape measure category steel tape measure nominal length: for the steel tape measure below 10rn to take o. 5 integer times; for more than 10m steel tape measure, to take 5 integer times. Tape measure specifications are Im, 2m, 3m, 3.5m, 5m, 10rn, 15m, 20m, 30m, 50m, 60m, 70m, 80m, 100m, etc.. Steel tape measure can be used to roughly measure the length, width, height, thickness and other dimensions of large workpieces, and can also be applied in geodesic measurement.

Steel tape measure parts composition
The tape measure is mainly composed of eight parts: shell, ruler strip, brake, ruler hook, carrying tape, ruler spring, anti-drop protection cover and label, with the following specific functions:
1. Shell: ABS new plastic, the appearance of glossy texture; anti-drop, wear-resistant, not easy to deformation.
2. Ruler strip: 50# first-class strip steel with thickness of 10 silk (0.10mm); ruler surface is advanced environmental protection paint: tasteless, smooth and wear-resistant, bright colors, clear and bright scale
3. brake: with upper, side and bottom three-dimensional brake, hand control feeling stronger.
4. ruler hook: riveted ruler hook structure, not easy to deformation, to ensure more accurate measurement.
5. carrying belt: rubber, nylon two kinds; high-grade quality; strong and durable, feel good.
6. Ruler spring: generally adopt 50# carbon steel, 65# manganese material: strong toughness, high precision.
7. Anti-drop protection cover: high-quality plastic, to prevent falling and collision breakage, enhance durability.
8. labeling: according to customer requirements labeling production.
