Independent test roulette

The basis of this work - an independent test measuring roulette. Idea and the basis of this test was taken from the building of the Russian portal. But there is difference - the object of research supports the Ukrainian market roulette, and TM are presented on it. The length and width of the canvas. Most running today roulette - the "short". The length of cloth - from 2 to 10 m and width - from 12,5 to 25 mm. Both are determined by the objectives for which the device gain. In building the basis of this work - an independent test measuring roulette. Idea and the basis of this test was taken from the building of the Russian portal. But there is difference - the object of research supports the Ukrainian market roulette, and TM are presented on it. The length and width of the canvas. Most running today roulette - the "short". The length of cloth - from 2 to 10 m and width - from 12,5 to 25 mm. Both are determined by the objectives for which the device gain. In building supermarkets in Kyiv (Epicenter, New Line, etc.) roulette serve as a complement to the purchase, and you can see how "unobtrusive" shop offers them at every turn, forcing to make impulsive, rather than conscious choice. Tape. Not immediately notice that most roulette "stamp" on one "great" Chinese factory output - painting with many roulettes (so there have not been contacted manufacturers) - the same! But there is, which is made from various grades of steel, so the two manufacturers under the same parameters of the tape may be different stiffness blade and its resistance to fracture. And it is these properties determine at what length of tape is stretched without breaking. Scale of measurement. In Ukraine, more than all the common metric SI system, is also worth noting about the design drawing figures. Very handy tape measure was with great figures, but even we were surprised by a bilateral application of the scale, which is very handy when measuring vertical objects. Accuracy. The deviation of the readings from the standard and meets certain standards. For example, for accuracy class II - the most common for roulette - evidence for a length of 1 m must be the absolute error of less than 0.5 mm, and at 10 meters - less than 2,3 mm. There is also an additional tolerance of accuracy for the hook (0.2 mm). Protection of Layout. Depending on how the coating composition marking linen and on what basis it is applied, significantly different life roulette. Hook. Most modern roulette wheels have a hook-type True Zero. Continuing consolidation in the canvas offset the thickness of the hook, providing a real countdown from scratch and external, and internal dimensions. The hole in the central part of the hook allows the use of nails or screws as the axis for marking circles or arcs, the recess in the face of a convenient to carry out parallel lines (eg, back during the movement you can put a pencil lead). For clarity, the hook is the weakest point in modern roulette wheels, and making a choice - pay attention to the number of rivets holding the hook. Case material. Plastic, metal or rubberized casing determines the operating conditions of the model. Sometimes it is more important than portability, sometimes - shock resistance. Fixing tape. Most often it is the slide mechanism, though there are others. Some manufacturers, in addition to the Lock button is set on the devices "pause" - a piece is never superfluous. But, young and high-quality TM went on, they set down on both sides, which ultimately increases the comfort of work and logically deserves praise from us. Other features. They have been specific. Let's say there are electronic roulette wheel with multiple functions, as well as roulette with a ring instead of a hook on the end of the canvas. In addition, the tape device can be made of cloth, not metal, and not have curved shapes. TEST CONDITIONS Given these features, for testing were chosen the most popular roulette with the canvas, 5 m (5,5 Kraftool) and a width of 19 mm. To create equal conditions favored the "moves" models of producers rather than "advanced", so that should not be on the test results of a separate product to judge about the brand as a whole. Test 1.1.Otsenivalas maximum possible length of the elongated blade to his knee (on the testimony of tape on the mark, with a hook located at the same height from the ground). Many sellers believe that the dominant factor in checking the quality of fabrics, but it is not. Roulette type Kraftool, Stanley, LEGIONER have more than two or three protective layers that logically increases the weight of the panel, and contributes to a more "early" fracture. Test 1.2. For linen, which was made at a certain length (100, 140 and 165 cm), was determined by its deflection as the largest (vertical) distance from the horizontal line connecting the hook and tape to the "hump" of the canvas. Test 2. Tested resistant fabrics to abrasion (abrasion). By applying the same small effort on each leaf make consistent passes with sandpaper (grain number 80). The process stops when the canvas is completely deprived of the coating with markup. In subsequent tests will be made no resistance to sandpaper, and a (more realistic conditions) of sand. Test 3. Elementary drop-test (from the English. Drop - to throw). All roulette "dropped" on a concrete slab from a height of 1.5 m, giving them at the same rotational movement. The height was chosen from the assumptions about the average size of a stepladder, a twist was made to create a casual environment: impact of lock and strike a rubber casing have different risks for the safety of the device. After five shots the result was evaluated as a "self test" if the tape has not lost performance and has not lost the presentation and how to "test fails" - in all other cases. This test were subjected to all devices, except electronic roulette Bosch, as it was obviously clear that electronics such treatment did not survive. Bosch DMB 5 plus price - $ 41 Electronic roulette Accuracy class: II. SPECIFICATIONS Screen Format: Length - 5 m, width - 19 mm. FEATURES: LCD display; the "add length roulette", "retention of evidence," "challenge the contents of memory," adding evidence to the memory, "" purification of memory ", True Zero hook with a slot for the radii and the reinforcing plates on the outer side of the tape ; equipment AA batteries. DIMENSIONS (WxHxD): 95h75h33 mm (without clip). Weight (with battery): 235, the company Bosch is widely known as a manufacturer of professional and consumer electrical and air tools for the repair and construction. Produces it and measuring equipment, which in our test represented an unusual - email - roulette. TEST RESULTS The holes on the canvas is read by photocell, located inside the body, and these values ??are displayed on the LCD with up to one millimeter. By the way, turning off electronics (button "on / off"), roulette can be used as the mechanical, the benefit of tape is no different from the usual - the markup is present. All electronic equipment is simple and straightforward in operation. Feature set is small, but in some cases they are very rescue. For example, if the testimony of one reason or another is difficult to see, their "fix" on the screen (by pressing "withholding evidence") and view later rolled back the canvas. Summarizing the results in memory, you can add distance to 1000 meters. The principle of fixation differs from that of mechanical roulettes. Tape is pulled free, or automatically reeled into the case only if the key is pressed, if tempered - is also removed, but with a little more effort. For an electronic device is better suited. It feeds on a single "finger" AA batteries and low battery signals about it on the screen. There also appears reports of two possible mistakes: "a memory" and "inclusion of roulette with the elongated ribbon. Stiffness of fabrics due to presence of the holes is significantly reduced (compared with mechanical tape measure), but from the comfort of work does not suffer. Tests on the wear resistance of high results were not given a drop-test for understandable reasons for the appliance Bosch was not performed. SUMMARY: electronic roulette with a small set of features designed for professional use. Cumbersome nature of the case, use a tape measure rather inconvenient. Kraftool 34125-05 Price - $ 07.10 Mechanical roulette SPECIFICATIONS Screen Format: Length - 5.5 m, width - 19 mm.

The results of the independent Ukrainian experts tests of individual items range from this brand confirmed that KRAFTOOL is a high quality tool that is perfectly suited for use in different (including extreme) climatic conditions of our country. TEST RESULTS The hull shape of roulette has not proved particularly convenient. Qualitative advantage cloth - a coating of polyester, fusing the paint and high carbon steel, which increases the durability of cloth 20 times. Also, the canvas bends through 90 degrees without fracture and no glare from any angle of illumination. Characteristic differ significantly better than the competitors - two-sided scale for measuring high objects, walls and ceilings. Beautiful markings linen, large numbers match. ! Possible to replace the blade! Cloth model was the best in comfort and service has shown good resistance to abrasion. SUMMARY: roulette for a really professional work, but are easy to design. Multifunctional. Kraftool 34122-03-19 Price - $ 2.95 Mechanical roulette SPECIFICATIONS Screen Format: Length - 5 m, width - 19 mm. FEATURES: mark the length of the hull; key "Pause", True Zero hook with a slot for the radii and the reinforcing plates on the outer side of the tape, folding frame design.

The results of the independent Russian experts, tests of individual items range from this brand confirmed that KRAFTOOL is a high quality tool that is perfectly suited for use in different (including extreme) climatic conditions of our country. KRAFTOOL product range includes several hundred names of screwdrivers, bits, carpentry, plumbing, instrumentation, gubtsevogo, painting tools and other products. This diversity makes it possible to use the hand tools in the industry and mechanical engineering, metalworking and electronics, telecommunications and construction, forestry, horticulture and many other industries. TEST RESULTS The hull shape repeats roulette palm geometry - the instrument as if "poured" into the hand. The main advantage - nylon coating that increases wear cloth 10 times. Also, the canvas bends through 90 degrees without fracture. There is slot for drawing circles. Different characteristics from those of competitors - a special groove on the tongue to measure the length of wires. The canvas model proved to be one of the most stable on a bend and showed good resistance to abrasion. SUMMARY: tape for professional work, wherein the original design. Roulette is very easy to use, excellent withstand blows. Toreh Roulette with a lock 5m / 19mm "Shiftlock" metal band 27C305 Price - $ 1.55 Mechanical roulette Accuracy class: II. SPECIFICATIONS Screen Format: Length - 5 m, width - 19 mm. FEATURES: mark the length of the hull; fasteners for the strap to be worn on the wrist, a hook True Zero; folding frame design. DIMENSIONS (WxHxD): 67h65h30 mm (without clip). Weight: 170 g. TEST RESULTS The test showed that for extreme conditions better to purchase special equipment, rather than products Toreh. While passing the drop test, the visible external changes are not found, an autopsy showed the body scrapped in place of one of three mounting screws. So that each next fall could be the last. But with a more "relaxed" work tape is very convenient. Weight and dimensions of it are small, and the profile of paintings hard enough. In his hand the instrument is "as poured" lock located on the site (just below the thumb), and the stopper strip attached. Cover paintings was not the most durable. SUMMARY: tape measure, intended more for domestic work than for extreme conditions Roulette with a lock 5m x 19mm "EXTRA" MT-0305 Price - $ 0.80 Mechanical roulette Accuracy class: II. SPECIFICATIONS Screen Format: Length - 5 m, width - 19 mm. FEATURES: Body without rubber components, mark the length of the hull; True Zero hook with a slot for the radii, not folding frame design. DIMENSIONS (WxHxD): 75h73h30 mm (without clip). Weight: 220 grams TEST RESULTS Tests confirmed the low levels of the product. Cloth quite tough, but do not withstand the abrasive action. During the drop test tape had fallen on the hook, bending it, so we had to use pliers to bring the item in its original form. Successfully calculated the parameters of the case - the device fits in your hand. SUMMARY: tape measure handy for amateur use. The values ??on the canvas marked by large numbers, so people like device with low vision. Roulette LEGIONER 3-34040-05 Price - $ 0.83 Mechanical roulette Accuracy class: II. SPECIFICATIONS Screen Format: Length - 5 m, width - 19 mm. FEATURES: Body - plastic, steel tape, strap worn on the wrist, a hook True Zero;. DIMENSIONS (WxHxD): 65h67h29 mm. Weight: 140 g. Hand tools under the brand name LEGIONER appeared in the domestic market in 2004 is based on design of the brand went to the desire of engineers to create a consumer tool that would be as close to professional in their characteristics and quality of execution. The successful realization of this idea is the fact that a relatively young brand has today become a recognized and popular par with the best known brands of leading manufacturers. To a large extent, this also contributes to the constant and rapid increase in product range. TEST RESULTS. First of all, we were surprised tenacity fabric. The resistance to abrasion, roulette bypassed many more expensive brethren. Distinguishes this from other roulette and ergonomic design. In his hand roulette "joins", body is made of a material that does not slip in his hand. Also, the hallmark of roulette, two buttons, "pause." Work this tool is very nice. The figures are large, clearly marked on a white background, low coefficient of reflection. Cloth tape measures - rigid (160 cm) compared with the others. Drop test tape was fine - because of low weight strikes were visible, and the appearance of roulette was not injured. SUMMARY: high-quality low-cost tape for precision work - the value in centimeters are shown real. Convenient compact case with two buttons "pause" and an excellent wear-resistance coatings - its distinctive features. Roulette RemoRubbe 15-4-005 Price - $ 1.28 Mechanical roulette Accuracy class: II. SPECIFICATIONS Screen Format: Length - 5 m, width - 19 mm. FEATURES: Body - plastic, steel tape, clip, hook True Zero;. DIMENSIONS (WxHxD): 73h75h36 mm (without clip). Weight: 210 g. Company Ormis has a wide range of roulettes and measuring tapes of varying lengths. In the manufacture of these products are only top quality materials, differing impact strength and durability. The company claims that products are manufactured in England. TEST RESULTS At first glance it seemed convenient and compact, with rubber-coated shell, fully self is not justified in conducting a drop test. Roulette is designed so that if dropped the hook is not protected and is the weakest. It should be noted the strength of materials used by the manufacturer - if dropped directly on the roulette wheel release lever, he was not hurt. Exposure to vibration "stopper" is holding a canvas. There are other features - weak rigidity leaf and its weak resistance to abrasion. SUMMARY: inexpensive, mediocre choice for professional work. Stanley Dynagrip 33-684 Price - $ 5.89 Mechanical roulette Accuracy class: II. SPECIFICATIONS Screen Format: Length - 5 m, width - 19 mm. FEATURES: body with rubber components, mark the length of the hull; True Zero hook with a slot for the radii, a three-layer polymer coating material; folding frame design. DIMENSIONS (WxHxD): 70h67h32 mm (without clip). Weight: 220 g. This producer needs no introduction. Stanley produces a wide variety of roulette: a plastic box or metal (with or without chrome) with automatic or manual winding the tape, with the metric (including SI), inch or foot scale; from reading through the upper window and t . etc. There's even a special instrument with a flat steel band, which on the one hand marked metric scale, and with another - the metric divided by the number pi (3.14 ...). Wrapping a tape measure a tree trunk or tube, you can learn without computing their diameter. To test was chosen as a standard tape series Dynagrip. TEST RESULTS The persistence of the cloth tape measure can be easily explained: it is not treated with varnish, and at high temperature sealed in a transparent polyester film Mylar (the production of DuPont). This three-layer coating prolongs the life of the markup is about 10 times compared with traditional (and that was proven testing). Proprietary technology is felt even by touch: the canvas as if wrapped with plastic wrap. Distinguishes this from other roulette and ergonomic design. Rubber components are recessed in the body and perform two functions at once: protect the device from falling and reduce its slip in hand. Work this tool is very nice. Cloth tape measure - not the most rigid in comparison with others. ABSTRACT: A high-quality professional tape measure for accurate work - the value in centimeters are shown actual, rather than unity between the scores. Convenient compact design and the highest wear resistance coating - its distinctive features. Stayer Mars 34131-05 Price - $ 1.89 Mechanical roulette Accuracy class: II. SPECIFICATIONS Screen Format: Length - 5 m, width - 19 mm. FEATURES: Rubber coated housing; strap worn on the wrist; True Zero hook with a slot for the radii and the reinforcing plates on the outer side of the tape, folding frame design. DIMENSIONS (WxHxD): 75h70h35 mm (without clip). Weight: 230 g. Hand tools with the brand Stayer, focused mainly on the domestic use, have appeared in Ukraine in 2004 and quickly get the recognition because of the good price / quality ratio. Generally speaking, this brand of "concealing" the German company Kraftool. TEST RESULTS Despite the fact that roulette Mars refers to the domestic class, it is virtually no different than professional counterparts. In favor of this assertion is evidenced by its performance, appearance and high resistance to shock. An interesting feature of the model - loose rubber coating, which can be easily removed by unscrewing the clip. Then on the plastic housing can be found a note on its length. By the way, on a specially designated area on the rubber cover for some reason it is not applied. From the drop-test Stayer coped well, except otletevshey clip, which was quickly screwed into place. It should be noted a good stiffness blade. And here is a special coating resistance is different. The markup applied large - between tens of centimeters are only a few. Lock very securely holds the tape - the vibration is "not going" back into the case. ABSTRACT: High-quality tape for both domestic and professional use. The figures on the canvas bear large and well-read. Roulette Sigma Shiftlock 5m 19mm SH5019 Mechanical tape Price - $ 0.90 Accuracy: II. SPECIFICATIONS Screen Format: Length - 5 m, width - 19 mm. FEATURES: Rubber coated housing; strap worn on the wrist, a hook True Zero. DIMENSIONS (WxHxD): 69h74h36 mm (without clip). Weight: 180 g. Goods brand Sigma are not a high price and average quality. Positioned as an amateur consumer tool. TEST RESULTS The canvas of the roulette wheel was not the toughest of all tested. When passing the drop test, hook a little bent and have lost functional abilities "stopper" when the tape hit him in the fall. Through a pair of pliers device was returned to original form. Despite the superficial similarity rubber coating at the same Stayer and Inter Tool, at this roulette wheel is glued, it is not removed should be noted that information about the length of the body on the roulette table is missing. Cover tape did not prove, being far from the most resistant to abrasion. But it is easy to read markings. Cloth strap worn on the wrist provides an extra degree of comfort and simultaneously adds a professional appearance. Design does not deserve praise and practical is the analog Stayer and Inter Tool. Roulette lightweight and fits nicely in your hand. SUMMARY: tape measure handy for amateur use. Source: http://www.vashdom.ru/articles/master-net_1.htm
