Stylon Tape

A Stylon tape is made of plastic-coated steel, giving both stability and durability.

Examples Of Usage

Stylon Tape can be used for:

• Measuring distances for a variety of survey purposes, such as the length of a base line between two survey stations.
• Setting out a chain line as part of a chain and offset survey to carry out, for example, detail mapping.

Factors Which Influence The Use Of Stylon Tape

• Measured distances are limited to the length of the tape, usually 30 or 50 metres.
• Clear paths of travel, unimpeded by physical obstacles, are needed between the end points of the distance.
• Large undulations in ground level can make chaining difficult.
• Distance accuracy is dependent on correct field procedures and often the application of corrections for various factors.

Survey Methods Used For

Tapes are used for the measurement of linear distance.
