I suppose you are referring to a "Carpenter's Tape", one that is wound inside of a 4" x 4" metal case. If that is correct then, the carpenter needs the tape to be rigid as it is extended for vast distances. The slight width-wide curve gives the metal tape more rigidity thus allowing the carpenter to obtain accurate measurements.
There are a huge number of possibilities. What do you want to measure? Here are just a few: Calipers, micrometers, scales, measuring tapes, lasers, etc. for measuring distances. Rockwell hardness tester for measuring how hard a material is. Thermometer A sound meter for measuring how noisy a work place is. Pressure gauges Strain gauges for measure how much a part is stretched or compressed when a load is applied. Multimeter for measuring electrical voltages and currents. Tachometer for measuring how fast something is spinning
Hi, Open reel tapes are equivelent to tapes like used on the older reel to reel tape recorders. They used to have open reel tapes for audio and video recorders. Many are still in use today. Open reel tapes had to be hand threaded through the tape transport whereas a cassette tape is self contained and the transport handles all the unloading and loading functions. Hope this helps, Cubby
Metric Rulers and meter sticks are used to measure short lengths and distances. Both devices are marked in centimeters and millimeters.Metric Rulers are generally 15 cm (6 inches) and 30 cm (12 inches) long.
One use is as insulating tape. Another is as jointing tape in plumbing.
A riser that has a curved shape at front.
Measuring tapes and rulers.
A measuring tape made of fiberglass. I have 3, very smooth and much better than steel tapes.
You can buy many tapes with inches on one edge and metric on the other.
I think you are talking about a graduated cylinder. When measuring liquids in a grad. cylinder you should read at the bottom of the miniscus ( the curved surface of the water or other liquid).
What tools would the tailors use in colonial times? They would use scissors, needle and thread and measuring devices, such as rulers, measuring tapes, etc. .
Because Invar steel expands and contracts very little with changes in temperature.
Measuring tape is the most commonly used tool for measuring. It's versatility makes it the premium choice. Measuring tapes are extremely easy to use and they fit in a small space. Other, perhaps older options are, measuring sticks and measuring thread.
The usual method for measuring distance is using tapes. To overcome the obstruction to horizontal distance measurement 30 m steel ribbon tapes can be used.
Advantage: you can use it to measure things particularly things that are several meters long - margaretmill.... walang hanggan :)

The curved surface at the top of a liquid in a container is called the meniscus. When measuring a liquid in a container, it's important to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus to ensure an accurate reading.
