Tagline Equipment
A tagline
is a means of measuring the width across a river, as well as the
distance between observation points during discharge measurements. The USGS standard taglines consist of stainless steel cable, with brass
tags affixed at preset intervals. The standard markings for a
1/32-inch (0.08 cm) and 1/16-inch (0.16 cm) diameter stainless steel
tagline are: All stainless steel 1/8-inch (0.32 cm) diameter boat-type
tagline for river measurements using a boat and boat equipment is
custom- tagged to order upon request depending upon the particular
application requirements.

USGS
Kevlar Tagline
The USGS Kevlar taglines consist of a
Kevlar inner core enclosed in a nylon jacket and dyed yellow with
black marks for improved visibility. The Kevlar wading tagline is
1/16-inch (0.16 cm) diameter and floats for ease of operation such
as hanging up in brush or rocks. The Kevlar boat tagline is
3/16-inch (0.48 cm) diameter and will not sink to the bottom again
allowing improved operation. The Kevlar tagline is waxed with a
commercial thread wax. This tagline can be rewaxed as needed with
rewaxer cleaner pad to keep it clean, preserve its abrasion
resistance, and assure that the line will float.
