A laser measure is one of the best tools to have in the home as it allows quick and easy measurements of distances with a high degree of accuracy\u2026 the model featured here measures from 150mm up to about 20m, with an accuracy of about 3mm at the latter distance. But read on\u2026 there are a couple of caveats to these specifications, and some tips and tricks to ensure greatest accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The model featured here is a comparatively basic but very useful tool it was on a special recently at Mica. Some laser measures can be used to measure and store a number of parameters such as length, width (and then calculate area), slant height, and so on. This instrument measures distance and is extremely easy to use and extremely useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here goes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cautions and advice:<\/strong>
\nFirst\u2026
\nA word of caution\u2026 NEVER<\/strong>\npoint any laser tool at a person or animal\u2026 or look into the beam yourself. You\ncould cause serious injury to the eyes and in extreme cases, even blindness.\nThis is NOT<\/strong> a toy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second
\nDo not use a laser in explosive environments such as where flammable liquids,\ngases and dust are present\u2026 a laser is a very high intensity concentrated beam\nof light and can ignite flammable fumes of dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third
\nThis tool is rated to measure up to about 20m, but this can be affected by a\nnumber of factors such as how well the laser is reflected off the target\nsurface (a dull rough surface will not reflect the beam as well as a flat\nreflective surface more about this below), the amount of ambient light, the\ntemperature, and the amount of dust in the air. The manufacturer states that in\nunfavourable conditions like those just mentioned and\/or operating well outside\nof the optimum +-25\u00b0C (though it can be operated in temperatures ranging from\n-10\u00b0-+40\u00b0C) the tool might deviate by about 7mm per 15m. In favourable\nconditions, a deviation of +-0.05mm\/m should be taken into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having said all\nthat in the vast majority of situations, you will get an entirely acceptable\nreadout to allow you to accurately calculate lengths of fencing or amounts of\nbuilding material required, area to be painted, and hence the amount of paint\nrequired, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all,\nlet\u2019s look at how a laser measure works\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without getting\ntoo deeply into the subject, a laser uses physics and light to calculate\ndistances. There are two precision optical components on a laser measure the\nlaser beam outlet, and the reception lens. When you press the button, the laser\nbeam outlet emits a very concentrated laser beam that has very little\n\u2018blooming\u2019 this is what scientists refer to as a beam of light spreading,\nbecoming ever wider as it gets further from the emitter. This concentrated\nbeam, which results in a bright red dot on the target surface, hits the target\nand is reflected back to the device where it passes into the reception lens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electronic\ncircuitry in the device then uses the phase-shift method to calculate the\ndifference in time from when the laser beam was emitted, to when it returned and\nthen uses that time difference to calculate the distance, which it then\ndisplays on a digital readout. In passing light is made up of waves, which is\nwhy the laser will continuously display changing readouts until it is at rest.\nThat, very simply, is how a laser works not that you need to worry about it,\nthe important thing being that it does work and work very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


A close-up of the laser\u2019s precision optics. The laser beam outlet is on the right and the reception lens is on the left. When the laser is on, this is NEVER<\/strong> the direction in which you should be viewing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why laser?<\/strong>
\nOther than the fact that lasers require batteries whereas tape measures do not,\nlaser tape measures have a number of advantages over tape measures\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • They are (subject to being used within the parameters set out by the manufacturers) pretty much immune to temperature and light variations (where they may be less accurate in very bright light conditions), whereas a very long metal tape measure is likely to give different measures in extremely hot or extremely cold weather but this is only really a concern over very long distances of many metres.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    • Lasers are easy to read instead of having to read off graduations as on a tape measure, the measurement is clearly there in numerals.<\/li>
    • Laser measures avoid the inaccuracies that can be caused by a twisted or sagging tape measure again, this might be factor only over very long distances, but can be a factor affecting accuracy.<\/li>
    • With a laser measure you do not need to mount a ladder to measure floor to ceiling of other very long or distances to other hard-to-reach points\u2026 such as a far wall or some other surface.<\/li>
    • In the case of the last-mentioned advantage just above, when using a laser measure you do not need a helper to hold the far end of a tape against a surface.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Having said all\nthat, remember, a tape measure is very useful must-have in the home and is an\nideal measuring device for a vast range of applications everything from\nstraight distances to diameters and circumferences of pots and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Here are some tips on using a laser measure\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


      That\u2019s the spirit use a level
      <\/strong>If you are measuring down a slope you may be wanting to measure the horizontal distance and not the slope itself\u2026 for example from the top of the garden to a boundary wall and in such cases it is important that you hold the laser measure level. A good way to do this is to place a spirit level vial or line level on the laser instrument and centre the bubble as shown here. Then take your reading.

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


      On target!<\/strong>
      There are times when the surface that you are aiming at is very non-reflective, or the ambient light is very bright, or as in this case, the surface is obscured by foliage. That\u2019s when you need a target that will reflect the laser beam back to the reception lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In this case we\nused a lid from a can of pet food suspended on a loop of string and hung on a\nbranch. Now we could accurately measure from the point of measurement to the\nlid, and then simply add using a steel rule the gap between the target and\nthe totally obscured wall behind it. Job done! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Keep it clean
      \n<\/strong>Laser measures use\nprecision optics to do their job so as much as it stands to reason to keep them\nclean, it bears emphasising\u2026keep them clean using a soft cloth to wipe the lens\nclear of any dust or debris. To help keep it clean, store it in a small bag a\nsunglasses bag is ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Store them separately<\/strong>
      \nFinally, if you are not using your laser measure for long periods, remove the\nbatteries from the instrument\u2026 over time they may slowly discharge and need to\nbe replaced just when you want to use the measure, and if they weep, they could\ndamage the instrument\u2019s battery contacts and battery compartment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
