Kangasmõõdulindid

Kangasmõõdulindid, often referred to as measuring tapes made of fabric or cloth, are flexible measuring tools used primarily for measuring lengths and distances. Unlike rigid rulers or metal tapes, kangasmõõdulindid are characterized by their pliability, making them ideal for measuring curved surfaces or areas where precision is less critical than adaptability. These tapes are typically made from materials like cotton, linen, or synthetic fibers, which are durable yet soft.

The markings on a kangasmõõdulind are usually printed or woven into the fabric itself. These markings commonly include both metric (centimeters and meters) and imperial (inches and feet) units. The flexibility of the fabric allows it to conform to the contours of the body, making them a staple in the garment industry for taking body measurements. They are also used in sewing, tailoring, and crafting for pattern making and fabric cutting.

While not as precise as metal or fiberglass tapes for engineering or construction, kangasmõõdulindid offer ease of use and portability. They can be easily folded or rolled up for storage, making them convenient for travelers or hobbyists. The fabric construction also means they are less likely to cause scratches or damage to delicate surfaces compared to harder measuring tools. Their softness also makes them safer to handle, especially in environments where sharp edges might be a concern.
