Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Length Correction due to Temperature = ((Actual Tape Length-Nominal Tape Length)*Unsupported Length)/(Nominal Tape Length)
Ct = ((La-Ao)*Ul)/(Ao)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Length Correction due to Temperature - (Measured in Meter) - Length Correction due to Temperature is the adjustment made to measurements to account for the expansion or contraction caused by temperature changes.
Actual Tape Length - (Measured in Meter) - Actual tape length is the length of the actual tape.
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 length between the support.
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
Ct = ((La-Ao)*Ul)/(Ao) --> ((5.5-1.8)*9)/(1.8)
Evaluating ... ...
Ct = 18.5
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
18.5 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
18.5 Meter <-- Length Correction due to Temperature
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

5 Temperature Corrections Calculators

Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length
Go Length Correction due to Temperature = ((Actual Tape Length-Nominal Tape Length)*Unsupported Length)/(Nominal Tape Length)
Tape Weight per foot for Sag Correction between Points of Support
Go Weight of Tape per Unit Length = -sqrt((Sag Correction*24*Pull on Tape^2)/(Unsupported Length^3))
Pull-on Tape given Sag Correction between Points of Support
Go Pull on Tape = sqrt((-Weight of Tape per Unit Length^2*Unsupported Length^3)/(24*Sag Correction))
Unsupported Tape Length given Sag Correction between Points of Support
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
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

Length Correction due to Temperature = ((Actual Tape Length-Nominal Tape Length)*Unsupported Length)/(Nominal Tape Length)
Ct = ((La-Ao)*Ul)/(Ao)

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.

How to Calculate Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length?

Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length calculator uses Length Correction due to Temperature = ((Actual Tape Length-Nominal Tape Length)*Unsupported Length)/(Nominal Tape Length) to calculate the Length Correction due to Temperature, The Temperature Corrections for Incorrect Tape Length formula is defined as the correction which is applied to correct the length of the tape. Length Correction due to Temperature is denoted by Ct symbol.
