Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length = ((Actual Tape Length-Nominal Tape Length)*Unsupported Length)/(Nominal Tape Length)
C_temp = ((L_a-A_o)*U_l)/(A_o)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length - (Measured in Meter) - Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length is the adjustments made to account for the changes in tape length due to temperature variations.
Actual Tape Length - (Measured in Meter) - Actual Tape Length is the precise length of a measuring tape used in surveying, accounting for any errors or corrections necessary due to temperature, tension, or manufacturing imperfections.
Nominal Tape Length - (Measured in Meter) - Nominal Tape Length is the length of tape that can be affected by physical imperfections, stretching, or wear.
Unsupported Length - (Measured in Meter) - Unsupported Length is the span or distance between supports or points of restraint for a structural member, such as a beam or a column.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Actual Tape Length: 5.5 Meter --> 5.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Nominal Tape Length: 1.8 Meter --> 1.8 Meter No Conversion Required
Unsupported Length: 9 Meter --> 9 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_temp = ((L_a-A_o)*U_l)/(A_o) --> ((5.5-1.8)*9)/(1.8)

Evaluating ... ...

C_temp = 18.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

18.5 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

18.5 Meter <-- Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length

LaTeX Go Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length = ((Actual Tape Length-Nominal Tape Length)*Unsupported Length)/(Nominal Tape Length)

Tape Weight per Foot for Sag Correction between Points of Support

LaTeX Go Weight of Tape per Unit Length = sqrt((Sag Correction*24*Pull on Tape^2)/(Unsupported Length^3))

Unsupported Tape Length given Sag Correction between Points of Support

LaTeX Go Unsupported Length = ((24*Sag Correction*Pull on Tape^2)/(Weight of Tape per Unit Length^2))^(1/3)

Sag Correction between Points of Support

LaTeX Go Sag Correction = -(Weight of Tape per Unit Length^2)*(Unsupported Length^3)/(24*Pull on Tape^2)

Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length Formula

LaTeX Go

Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length = ((Actual Tape Length-Nominal Tape Length)*Unsupported Length)/(Nominal Tape Length)
C_temp = ((L_a-A_o)*U_l)/(A_o)

What is Nominal Tape Length?

Nominal tape length is the length of tape that is affected by physical imperfections, stretching, or wear.

How does the Temperature Correction Affect the Accuracy of Surveying measurements?

Temperature correction can significantly affect the accuracy of surveying measurements. Without temperature correction, the measurements can be off by a few millimetres or even centimetres, depending on the temperature difference. By applying temperature correction, surveyors can ensure that their measurements are accurate and reliable.
