Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I read a tape measure?
Reading a tape measure involves understanding the markings. Large numbers represent inches, and the smaller markings between indicate fractions of an inch.
What do the different colors and markings mean?
Colors and markings can denote various measurement standards, such as red for imperial and black for metric. Special symbols may represent stud or joist intervals for construction.
How can I ensure accurate measurements?
Ensure the tape is straight and level when measuring, and check the 'true zero'—the end hook's movement compensates for its thickness.
