The distance recorded for a baseline was 430.60 using a 100 m steel tape standardized at 15C and with a standard pull of 10 kg. At the time the temperature was measured to be 20C and the pull exerted was 16 kg. Unit weight of steel is 7.86 g/cc and weight of steel is 2.67 kg, E = 200000 MPa, = 70 x 10-6 m/C.
