What is a Laser Distance Measure?

Laser tape measures, also known as laser distance measures or laser distance meters, are a modern alternative to the traditional tape measure.

Measurements are taken by sending out a pulse of laser light to a defined target and then measuring the amount of time it takes for the refection to return.

This allows for extremely accurate readings, even over large distances. Additionally, on-board functions allow the device to add, subtract, calculate area and volume, triangulate and a range of other functions.

These have a huge benefit to the user as complex, time-consuming calculations can be made quickly, easily and with high degrees of accuracy. A quality laser measure can be a useful addition to the working kit of a wide range of professionals including builders, contractors, architects, surveyors, tilers, kitchen fitters, flooring contractors and many other professions in which accurate measuring is required.

The Benefits of Using Laser Distance Measures

The three main benefits to using a laser measure are:

Accuracy

Ease of use

Durability

The on-board functions make complex calculations of area, volume and triangulation extremely easy to perform. This helps to reduce human error on site, therefore saving time and money.

How To Use A Laser Distance Measure?

To make a simple distance measurement using a laser measure the user must place the instrument at one end of the line that is to be measured and aim the laser beam at a solid target such as a wall or cabinet.

If a solid object is not available then a plastic target can be placed at the required destination to allow the laser beam to be reflected.

Next, the button is pressed and the distance is measured and displayed on the laser measure's screen.

If a simple distance was all that was required then the job is already done but a whole range of options still exist for the user.

Areas and volumes can be calculated by taking further measurements and making use of the on-board functions to perform the calculations for you.
