Learning how to read tape measure markings is all about basic division. Most Imperial-based tape measures will go down to 1/16 of an inch, but some will go as far as 1/32”. Here is what all those tape measure marks mean: Whole-Inch Markings:The longest lines on the tape measure re...
1. Inch markings. Each side has markings, with the long lines and large numbers indicating the one-inch marks (according to the imperial system). If you’re using a retractable tape measure, the tang (the metal hook on the end of the tape measure, also known as the clip) equals zero...
You can think of a half-inch mark as half way between a full inch. The remaining markings follow a similar pattern. ¼" is half of ½". ⅛" is half of ¼". Most tape measure markings go as small as 1⁄16;". This tape divides one more time, down to 1⁄32"....
There are a couple of special markings you might notice as you read your tape measure specifically for contractors. Every 16 inches (16, 32, 48…), there’s a bold, red, or colored-in mark that’s different from the others. These mark a standard 16-inch stud placement. What Do the ...

A tape measure has a measurement tape with markings whose withdrawn length is determined and displayed by a sensor and processing device with a digital display. The problems inherent in optoelectronic reading of the fine divisions required for millimetre accuracy, e.g. dirt on the tape, are ...
causing it to not be able to read the cut sensor markings, or to cut offset from the printed design. If your material is glossy or reflective, it may be helpful to apply a matte transparent tape over the top of the cut sensor marks. This reduces glare for the sensor and ...
