Weiss Fibreglass Replacement Measuring Tape - 16 mm

High-quality replacement measuring tape made from fibreglass. Fibreglass measuring tapes are more flexible than steel measuring tapes and are labelled at a tension of 20 N. This 16 mm wide version is clearer to read and more robust than its 13 mm wide counterpart. This replacement measuring tape is compatible with all Weiss measuring tapes.

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. Again, please do not hesitate to contact us, should you require this feature.

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.

Plumb bobs
Our measuring tapes can be paired perfectly with our plumb bobs. Plumb bob F is firmly attached to the measuring tape to form an integrated length measurement, while plumb bobs 1, 2 and 3 are only connected to the measuring tape via a carabiner. This makes it very easy to transport and to store.
