Steel Tape Temperature Correction Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Steel Tape Temperature Correction.
TC = .0000065*L*(TF-TI)
Variables:
- TC is the Steel Tape Temperature Correction (m)
- L is the measure length (m)
- TF is the final temperature (C)
- TI is the initial temperature (C)
How to Calculate Steel Tape Temperature Correction?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Steel Tape Temperature Correction.
- First, determine the measure length (m).
- Next, determine the final temperature (C).
- Next, determine the initial temperature (C).
- Next, gather the formula from above = TC = .0000065*L*(TF-TI).
- Finally, calculate the Steel Tape Temperature Correction.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
measure length (m) = 3
final temperature (C) = 50
initial temperature (C) = 25
TC = .0000065*L*(TF-TI) = ?
