    This document describes how to calculate the sag correction that must be subtracted when measuring the unsupported length of a tape that is only supported at its ends and under a steady pull. The sag correction depends on the weight of the tape per unit length, the total mass of the tape, the unsupported length, and the applied pull during measurement. An example is provided to demonstrate calculating the sag correction and corrected distance between the ends of a 30m tape under an 8kg pull given the tape weighs 0.91kg.

    Correction due to Sag (to be subtracted only)

    where,

    = weight of tape per unit length


    = total mass or weight of tape
    = unsupported length of tape
    = applied pull during measurement

    Example: A 30 m tape is supported only at its ends and under a steady pull of 8 kg. If the tape weighs
    0.91 kg, determine the following:

    1. Sag correction.(Answer: 0.0162 m)


    2. Correction distance between the ends of the tape (Answer: 29.984 m)
