    Tape Corrections 2

    Uploaded by

    John Ray Cuevas
    This document discusses corrections that need to be made when measuring distances with tapes due to factors like temperature, tension, and tape length. It provides examples of calculating corrections and determining true distances. Specifically, it shows how to calculate and apply corrections to account for tape length and temperature/tension differences between when a distance is measured and the tape is standardized.

    Due to temperature and tension

    When measuring the distance between two existing


    points:
    With a tape too long, the reading distance
    will be short, add the correction
    With a tape too short, the reading distance
    will be long, subtract the correction
    When laying out a line or establishing a point:
    With a tape too long, subtract the correction
    With a tape too short, add the correction
    (Lay-out)
    Example
    A distance is measured with a 100-ft steel tape and
    is found to be 9667.32 ft. Later the tape is
    standardized and is found to have an actual length
    of 100.07 ft. What is the correct distance
    measured?
    Ca= (9667.32*(100-100.07)/(100)
    Ca= -6.7671m
    Correct length = 9667.32 + (-6.7671) = 9660.5529m
    A known distance of points A and B and is re-measured with a
    50-m steel tape and is found to be 1240.24 m.. Later the tape
    is standardized and is found to have an actual length of
    49.9004 m. What is the correct distance measured?

    Ca= (1240.24*(50-49.9004)/(50)
    Ca= +2.4706m
    Correct length = 1240.24 - (+2.4706) = 1237.7694m
    Steel tape 30 m Po= 10 kg
    To= 20 deg C. P= 15 kg
    L= 1650 m A= 0.025 cm^2
    Tm= 30 deg C. E= 2.1 x 10^6 kg/cm^2
    = 3.5 x 10^-6 /deg C
    Ct=(3.5 x 10^-6)(30-20)(1650)
    Ct=0.05775 m

    Cp=((15-10)/((.025)(2.1x10^6)))(1650)
    Cp=0.157142857 m

    True length of the line = 1650m-0.05775 m-0.157142857m


    True length of the line = 1649.7851m
