Weiss Fibreglass Closed Reel Measuring Tape - 16 mm

High quality fibreglass measuring tape. The robust steel and plastic compound, from which the capsule is made, together with its precise tape guide, torsion-resistant construction and foldable crank help distinguish this measuring tape from others on the market. The metal axle of the the crank allows for almost effortless work, as it ensures ease of movement when rolling in and out.

This measuring tape belongs to EC accuracy class II, but meets the requirements of class I. For an additional charge, the measuring tape can also be officially upgraded to EC accuracy class I. Please contact us if you require this. Special gradations such as 1/2 cm, 1/16 inch, 1/10 and 1/100 foot, 1/10 inch and 1/8 inch are also available for this measuring tape.

Tape Material
Fibreglass measuring tapes are more flexible than steel measuring tapes and are marked at a tension of 20 N. This 16 mm version is both easier to read and more robust than its 13 mm counterpart.

Gradation
The cm gradation is particularly quick and easy to read and is therefore widely used. Millimetre gradations tend to be used for more detailed measurements over shorter distances, such as in the tool sector, but are also becoming increasingly popular in the construction sector.Measuring tapes marked with cm gradation also indicate millimetre gradation up to the first 10 cm. Measuring tapes labeled on one side only help prevent confusion and mistakes from being made.

Measurement Starting Point and Ring Material
The building sector typically uses point B as its starting point when taking a measurement. This makes it easier and quicker to measure from a wall as the ring is folded up and out of the way. When point A is used as the starting point for a measurement, zero is clearly visible and precise adjustments can be made. This is particularly helpful in the tool sector. Rings can be made from either plastic or metal. Plastic rings are made of nylon. They are shock resistant and comfortable to hold. The plastic ring type cannot be folded completely onto the tape measure and is slightly larger than its metal counterpart. The metal ring, in comparison, is made of bent nickel-plated steel and can be folded completely to sit flat onto the tape measure. It is even more pressure-resistant than the plastic ring.
