FAQ

What is Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length?

The Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length formula is defined as the correction which is applied to correct the length of the tape and is represented as Ct=((A-A_{o)*L)/(A_o)} or Temperature correction=((actual tape length-nominal tape length)*Unsupported length)/(nominal tape length). actual tape length is the length of the actual tape, nominal tape length is the length of tape that can be affected by physical imperfections, stretching, or wear and Unsupported length is the length between the support.

How to calculate Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length?

The Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length formula is defined as the correction which is applied to correct the length of the tape is calculated using Temperature correction=((actual tape length-nominal tape length)*Unsupported length)/(nominal tape length). To calculate Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length, you need actual tape length (A), nominal tape length (A_o) and Unsupported length (L). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for actual tape length, nominal tape length and Unsupported length and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Temperature correction?

In this formula, Temperature correction uses actual tape length, nominal tape length and Unsupported length. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Temperature correction=(0.0000065*Measured length*(Final temperature-Initial temperature))
