What is the triangle at the 19 inch mark on a tape measure for?

On my tape measures, the mark shows up as a diamond. The distance is approximately 19.2 inches. This mark is used for determining the spacing of engineered wood beams rather than traditional 2x8's, 2x10's etc. Engineered beams are stronger than traditional wood and the span between them is greater. If you look further on the tape measure, the triangle or diamond mark is repeated at multiples of roughly 19.2 inches to facilitate construction with engineered beams.

What does .15 look like on a tape measure?
Well, .125 is 1/8 of an inch. If the tape measure is marked in sixteenths, 1/8 would be the 2nd line from the beginning of an inch. Then estimate or eyeball 1/4 of the way to the next line and that is rougly .15 on a tape measure. This is how I would figure this out. If someone knows a better way, please share.

You will not be able to measure to that accuracy using a tape measure. You should have marks at tenths of an inch and so you will get 2.3 inches on the tape measure. If you have a tape measure that has divisions to 1/32 of an inch then 2 and 10/32 is the nearest.
