KESON

KESON engineers-scale tape measures are marked in feet and decimal fractions of a foot (such as 1/100 ft), while standard SAE tape measures use inches and fractional inch graduations (such as 1/16 in). Engineers scales are commonly used in engineering, surveying, and construction layout where decimal feet simplify calculations. Many KESON engineers-scale models also include dual markings, showing both SAE and engineers scales on the same blade. For example, the KESON PGT181025V has a 25 ft blade with SAE/Engineers Scale markings. Standard SAE tapes, like the KESON PGT5MV, are marked in metric or inch fractions for general measurement tasks.

Yes. KESON offers metric tape measures with graduations in millimeters and centimeters. A representative model is the KESON PGT5MV, a 5-meter tape measure with 1 mm graduations in centimeters. It features a high-visibility orange plastic case, manual lock, and finger brake. Metric tape measures are suitable for applications where metric units are standard, such as in many international markets and technical fields. KESON also produces tape measures with dual metric and SAE markings for versatility. These models allow users to switch between measurement systems without changing tools.

KESON tape measures are available with nonmagnetic single hook tips and nonmagnetic double hook tips. The single hook tip is common on many models, including the PGT5MV and PGT181025V. The double hook tip, found on models like the PG181033UB, provides additional hooking options for measuring from either side of the blade end. Both tip types are nonmagnetic, which prevents interference with magnetic surfaces and reduces the risk of attracting metal debris. The hook tips are designed to allow accurate inside and outside measurements. The choice between single and double hook depends on the specific measuring tasks and user preference.

KESON tape measures are manufactured to meet accuracy standards applicable to measuring tools. For example, the KESON PGT5MV metric tape measure has an accuracy of 0.03%. This means that over a 5-meter length, the deviation is expected to be within 0.03% of the actual value. Accuracy specifications can vary by model and blade length. For precise engineering and layout work, users should refer to the individual product specifications. KESON tape measures are subject to quality control during production to ensure consistent performance. The accuracy of a tape measure can also be affected by factors such as temperature, blade tension, and user technique.

Yes. KESON manufactures measuring wheels, also known as surveyor's wheels or click wheels, designed for measuring long distances over various surfaces. These wheels are available in different diameters and with mechanical counters that record distance in feet, meters, or both. Measuring wheels are commonly used in road construction, surveying, landscaping, and indoor facility layout. They are suitable for measuring curved and straight paths, and some models feature folding handles for storage. KESON measuring wheels are built with durable materials to withstand outdoor and industrial environments. 3G Electric supplies KESON measuring wheels alongside tape measures for comprehensive distance measurement needs.

KESON tape measure cases are typically made of impact-resistant plastic, often in high-visibility orange or black. Some models feature rubberized grips for improved handling and durability. The blades are made of steel with protective coatings to resist wear and corrosion. Blade coatings may include nylon, polyester, or other materials that extend blade life and reduce friction during extension and retraction. The hook tips are nonmagnetic and attached with rivets or similar fasteners. The combination of materials is chosen to provide reliable performance in construction, engineering, and industrial environments. Specific material details can be found in individual product specifications.
