2 Accurate measuring is all about technology. Everyone must measure. Whether you are a professional or a DIY enthusiast. Day in day out. The best known measuring implement is the folding rule which was invented in 1865 by the Ullrich brothers. The individual rules were joined together in 1886 by spring joints which click into place. This invention is still proving its worth today and every day. In 1889 the Ullrich family formed a company that now is called STABILA and is known the whole world over for quality measuring instruments. Experienced craftsmen know that the quality of the measurements they take determines the quality of their work. Therefore, whatever the project, measuring is the most frequent task. This places stringent demands on the measuring instrument. 1. It must measure precisely. Only then can you be sure that the result is right. 2. It must be robust so that it can stand up to the knocks of the working day without a problem. 3. It must be reliable. Over many years. 4. It must be easy to work with, whatever the use and whatever the weather conditions. Four crucial attributes which every STABILA measuring instrument possesses. And therefore the best starting point for successful work. STABILA 2 3

21 Tripods Tripods are one of the most important tools when working with lasers. With the aid of a laser mounted on a tripod (depending on the type and height of the tripod) virtually every height from 50 cm to 285 cm can be levelled horizontally. Modern tripods are made from aluminium and are therefore very light but also very sturdy. The different designs of the leg extension and locking mechanisms also enable the tripod to be erected quickly on uneven surfaces.

24 The different types of vials Horizontal vial Horizontal measurements The aluminium spirit level profile Smooth rectangular profile Classic design for all applications up to the moderately difficult. Vertical vial Vertical measurements Rectangular profile with ribs to strengthen the profile and for improved handling. Angle vial Measurement of a range of slopes Cast T profile A very rigid cast aluminium profile with one measuring surface. 45 angle vial Fixed slope measurement Extra-strong cast double T profile An ultra-strong double T profile made from cast aluminium with gripping holes and two measuring surfaces. Six ring vial Rapid slope measurement The profile constitutes an extension of the vial and must therefore be made of a lasting and stable material. This material combines great practicality, low weight and optimum handling. Coated measuring surface Milled measuring surface Measuring surface with bridging plates for bridging uneven areas of wood or masonry. Gefräste Messfläche mit extra Milled measuring surface with super-powerful rare earth magnet system the optimum system for steel construction work. Milled measuring surface with a V-shaped groove for extra secure adhesion to pipes and other steel items. The measuring surfaces The measuring surfaces on spirit levels can be designed in various ways. In most cases, the complete body of the spirit level, including the measuring surface, is powder-coated, painted or anodised, but on some spirit levels the measuring surface is also milled flat after the coating process. In every case, it is important that the surface be completely smooth. For this reason, not every side of a spirit level can be used as a measuring surface The end caps Permanent impact-resistant plastic end caps are used to protect the measuring surfaces. The upright height of the level s hollow profile must be appropriately dimensioned to provide good shock-absorption. STABILA also provides end caps with practical additional functions. 1 Standard end caps: Impact and shock-resistant. 2 End caps with patented anti-slip stopper: holds firm even when laid with just one hand. Convenient for marking out. Greater security. 3 Removable end caps: Mark right into corners lay on narrow edges. 4 Shock-absorbing end caps: Two-component material mix ensures effective energy absorption upon impact.

38 1 Materials and coating For wooden rules, the most important factor for optimum unbreakability is to use choice, well stored, highly elastic woods as the primarymaterial. For plastic rules, glass fibrereinforced plastic provides the greatest durability. The coating on the wooden rules must be able to handle every adversity. They are protected against damp, sun and mechanical abrasion. This is the only way to ensure the scale s good, long-term legibility. Their quality is recognisable by: STABILA has a long tradition of only using choice, high-quality beech as the base material for its wooden rules. This makes the rules especially hard-wearing. 2 The printing A quality rule can be immediately recognised by the marking on its first section. Look for four important pointers: 1. the nominal length 2. the rule s accuracy classification which is indicated in Roman numerals 3. EU type approval certification 4. the CE and metrology marks. And last but not least, the manufacturer s name, in other words the 1 The environmentallyfriendlylacquer to the company s own formulation, provides unsurpassed weather and abrasion resistance. brand which confirms the rule s origin and construction. The graduation scale, the most important feature, must be printed clearly and show an obvious distinction between units and tens. A double millimetre scale (on the upper and lower edge) increases the rule s usefulness The joints STABILA predominantly uses joints made from hardened spring steel, which ensure precise engagement and good spring action long-term. Catches and end cams provide strong retention, guaranteeing accuracy. Its special construction makes the joint operate smoothly over a long period. Highly durable glass fibre-reinforced polyamide joints are used on some models. High quality steel jointing plates with built-in steel springs and concealed rivets.

41 The unique advantage of a measuring tape is that it can provide measurements up to 100m long in a compact form. There are different types of measuring tapes to suit different applications and different measurement distances Pocket tape measures: Usable anywhere, small, light and easy to carry, on your belt or in your pocket, and ideal for measurements up to approx. 10 m. Cased measuring tapes: For measuring distances up to 30 m. Open-frame measuring tapes: For measuring distances up to 100 m, as commonly required in road construction and landscaping work. All about measuring tapes Particular features indicating the quality of the measuring tape are: 1. The accuracy. The following details are marked at the beginning of high-quality measuring tapes: nominal length, the CE and metrology mark, the accuracy class and the manufacturer s brand. 2. The tape s composition. For pocket tape measures, the tape s durability is an important factor: for this reason, most steel tapes are concave and have a resistant coating to protect the graduated scale from abrasion by particles of dirt. Cased and open frame measuring tapes with steel or fibreglass tapes. Steel measuring tapes suffer from more significant changes in length, depending on the temperature but require less traction force for precise measurements than fibreglass tapes. The design and the material protect the steel tape against friction and breaking. 3.The tape end. Special end hooks for different applications: folding hook, plumblines, eyes, rings, etc., included in the measurement or not. A STABILA patent on pocket tape measures: the only hook that does not slip. A spikes hook whose little sapphire spikes enable it to hold on all by itself. Standard designs for the beginning of the tape: For cased measuring tapes, a pull ring. For open-frame measuring tapes, a particularly large pull-ring with notches for vertical measurement. Different tape beginnings available. 4. The casing. Different materials are used to provide protection and easy, long-term safe handling. For cased and open frame measuring tapes, this is usually ABS plastic but metal is also used for some individual casings and frames. The mechanical parts of open frame measuring tapes are made from steel, aluminium or high-quality plastic. On pocket tape measures, the gripping area is often covered with soft rubber. 5. Useful additional functions increase the measuring tape s practicality: for instance, buffers on the tape mouth, a tape return brake, a blade lock and a variety of end hooks. Almost without exception, STABILA pocket tape measures have the patented spikes hook that prevents the hook from slipping on smooth surfaces. STABILA measuring tapes 80 81
