Distance Measures

The idea of using a laser for measuring distance was put to work in the early 90s and like other pioneering technologies such as computers and cell phones, it started off as a large and bulky distance measuring tool. Over the years, it has advanced in form and today we have a variety of pocket-sized small and slick devices employing cutting-edge laser technology for measuring distance on construction sites and job sites, in less than a second.

Distance measurement with laser: how it works

Using laser measurement, distance calculation becomes super easy and super quick over long stretches and areas. The working principle is based on the basic light travel and reflection, which is enhanced by the amplified laser beams. As the laser distance measure emits light in one direction, it travels to the point where it bounces off a solid surface and returns to the meter. The processor records the time taken for the beam to touch back after reflection, and calculates it with the speed of light, to produce the exact measure of distance.

Laser distance measurer

Laser distance measurers are ingenious gadgets that utilise the attributes of a laser in a highly creative manner. Some of the most common uses of this device are in construction, surveying, architecture and maintenance works, for instance:

• Wall length, width and height measurement
• Distance from one point to another in open spaces
• Fence calculation
• Volume calculation of closed spaces
• Ideal for calculating flooring tiles
• Estimation for work requirements e.g., HVAC or maintenance or piping
• Verification of CAD layouts and architectural designs in as-built structures
• Measure the vertical distance to roof, for crane lifting
