How does a laser rangefinder measure volume?

2024-07-26 Visits:

Laser rangefinder is a commonly used measuring instrument in interior decoration. Sometimes, in addition to measuring the length distance, it is also necessary to measure the area and volume. Some multifunctional laser rangefinders can achieve this. The specific method is to automatically calculate the volume by measuring the vertical, horizontal distance and height separately. If you want to measure the volume with a pulse laser rangefinder, first switch to the volume function interface, and then measure the length separately. The volume will be automatically displayed on the screen. Let's take a look at how the laser rangefinder measures the volume.


1. Can the laser rangefinder measure the volume?

Laser rangefinders are usually used to measure distances and can measure the length between two objects, but in addition to length, some multifunctional laser rangefinders can also be used to measure volume.

The method of measuring volume with a laser rangefinder is very simple. The volume of the space can be quickly and automatically calculated by measuring the vertical, horizontal distance and height separately. If there is no such function, the volume can also be calculated by measuring the distance of the three sides; some laser rangefinders can also calculate the volume of the space by measuring three times in a row. In the field of interior decoration, this function is very practical.

2. How to measure volume with a laser rangefinder.

It is very convenient to measure volume with a laser rangefinder. Many friends do not know how to operate and use it. Here is how to measure volume with a laser rangefinder:

1. Turn on the rangefinder and press the function selection button in the middle of the rangefinder (the buttons of different brands of products may be different, you can refer to the manual to find it).

2. Switch between different functions by pressing the +.- buttons, find the function of measuring volume, and press the function key to confirm the selection.

3. After selecting the function of measuring volume, it will usually be displayed on the screen, and the measurement unit will also switch to cubic meters or cubic feet, and then you can start measuring.

4. Press the measurement button, turn on the laser, press the red button again to measure the length of one side; then aim the laser rangefinder at the other side, press the red button again to measure the width, and then measure the height.

5. After measurement, the volume of the surface will be automatically calculated on the interface.

When measuring volume with a laser rangefinder, the length, width, and height must be accurately measured to obtain the correct volume. If the measurement accuracy requires height, you can measure it several times; in addition, the laser of the laser rangefinder cannot face the human eye. If possible, it is recommended to wear goggles before measuring.
