How much does an Invar (c)
tape expand and contract
due to change in An Invar tape will expand and contract much less than a steel
temperature, compared to a tape when exposed to the same change in temperature.
Unfortunately, Invar tapes, while extremely accurate, are too
standards steel tape under fragile for normal use. So they are typically used for
the same conditions? measuring baselines or calibrating steel tapes
