Measuring tape (steel) Tvardy 100 m — geodetic roll, 10 mm width

Measuring tape (steel) Tvardy 100 m is a geodetic roll designed for accurate long-distance linear measurement in surveying, construction and land works. The 10 mm wide steel tape provides stable length with minimal stretch and clear graduations that remain legible in outdoor conditions. Supplied as a compact roll, this tape is suitable for repeated deployment over uneven ground and for defining plot boundaries, infrastructure alignments and other tasks that require precise distance tracking.

Advantages

The steel construction delivers superior resistance to stretching and wear compared with textile tapes, ensuring consistent measurements over time. The 10 mm width balances flexibility and stiffness to reduce sagging on longer spans while remaining easy to handle from the roll. Graduations are printed for clear reading at typical surveying distances, and the geodetic roll format makes storage and transport straightforward. The tape is intended for field use and holds its form across a range of outdoor conditions.

Suitable for

• Land surveying and boundary measurement
• Construction site layout and alignment checks
• Measuring long linear distances for roads, fences and pipelines
• Topographic and cadastral field work

Key specifications

• Length: 100 m
• Tape material: steel
• Width: 10 mm
• Format: geodetic roll
• Graduations: printed for linear distance measurement

How to use

Unroll the tape along the intended measurement line and anchor one end at the starting point. Keep the tape taut and level where possible to minimize sag and reading errors. Read the distance at the measurement mark aligned with the end point, then roll the tape back onto the geodetic roll after use to protect the graduations and prevent kinks. For repeated measurements, reposition the anchored end and ensure consistent tension to maintain accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tape before use for nicks, bends or corrosion that could affect accuracy. Use a tape reel or handle to control unrolling and prevent sudden release. Avoid forcing the tape around sharp corners and store the roll in a dry place to extend service life. For highest precision, perform measurements with the tape pulled taut and supported at intermediate points on very long spans.
