4.2 Te t spe ime s

Five sp cimen , at le st 7 mm lon , are c t f om the rol at intervals not les than 3 0 mm

The sp cimen s al b al owed to relax for at le st 5 min

4.3 Proc d re

Place the test sp cimen b twe n the jaws of the thic nes gau e in contact with the fixed

The width of the relaxed sp cimen is me s red with the ad esive side down to the ne rest

0,5 mm u in the rule Ten me s rements s al b made, u iformly distributed alon the

len th of the sp cimen The width s al b the me n value of the ten me s rements

5.2 Method B

5.2.1 Principle

The ad esive ta e rol is placed b twe n the jaws of a p ir of cal p rs

The width is the p rp n ic lar distan e, expres ed in mi imetres, b twe n the o p site c t

ed es of the test sp cimen of ad esive ta e This method may not b s ita le f or sl t or

rewou d rol s if the turn are not exactly coin ident

Hold the rol so that the c t ed es are in a vertical plane If the outer turn of the ta e on the

rol have cru hed or damaged c t ed es, these s ould b dis arded prior to me s rement

Hold the cal p rs so that the s ale s af t is in the horizontal plane

Caref ul y close the cal p r jaws so as to ju t tou h the c t ed es of the outer turn of the rol

of ta e, takin the fol owin precaution :

a) do not cru h the rol ed es;

b) en ure that cal p r jaws are p rp n ic lar to c t ed es

Me s re the rol width in mi imetres to the ne rest 0,1 mm

Car y out two further me s rements at eq al y sp ced intervals arou d the circ mf eren e

5.2.6 Re ults

Re ort the me n value as the width of ta e in mi imetres

5.3 Method C

This method wi only b u ed where a very hig degre of ac urac is req ired

Use a travel n micros o e with a vernier control on one axis whic has an ac urac

of 0,0 1 mm Usin the sp cimen o tained an relaxed as in 5.1.2, me s re the width to the

ne rest 0,01 mm, takin ten me s rements The width of the ta e is taken as the me n value

in mi metres

6 Determination of rol length

6.1 Principle

The len th can b calc lated f rom a me s rement of the n mb r of turn of ta e on the re l

core Alternatively, len th can b me s red directly by u in a len th sen or that in lu es a

rotatin whe l that revolves on the rol of ta e as it is b in u wou d

For non-exten ible ta es the len th me s red by these method wi b the same as the

a) A me s rin device ca a le of cou tin b th whole revolution an p rt revolution ,

contin ou ly driven by a spin le The spin le has a s ita le loc in device by me n of

whic a conical s aft can b q ic ly fit ed to s it the internal diameters of cores for the

rol s of ta e (F r example, for a nominal 2 mm internal diameter core the conical s af t

wi give a 2 ,5 mm diameter to 2 ,5 mm diameter over a s aft len th of 5 mm

Alternative size conical s afts would b ne ded f or ta es on a core with sig ificantly

dif f erent nominal diameters, s c as 7 mm.)

b) Me s rin ta e A nar ow, flexible, ste l ta e (6 mm or nar ower) cal brated in mi metres

Mou t the rol on the conical s aft of the cou ter Set the cou ter to zero an pul the ta e
