Calculated Industries Wheel Master

The measuring wheel has been around for quite a long time, which should give some idea as to how useful it is. It is usually utilized in surveying and is meant to measure the distance between one point and another. In general, it consists of a single wheel attached to a handle, allowing the user to push the device ahead while walking.

How the Calculated Wheel Master Works

Measuring wheels are simple enough to use, but is their mechanism simple as well? Yes, but the principle behind it can give some of us some pause. Each full rotation of the wheel, which is 360 angular degrees, thus represents a specific distance. To calculate for that distance, multiply the circumference of the wheel by three-eights of a full turn.

While this may seem simple enough, the calculation may take some time. However, the Wheel Master by Calculated Industries is designed to take on itself the burden of making these calculations yourself. Simply push the wheel from point A to point B, and the distance will automatically appear on the wheel’s display. No need for calculators, and no space for human errors.

The wheel’s display is easily visible, and you’ll be able to see the measurements simply by looking down.

The Accuracy of Measuring Wheels

Measuring devices differ in their level of accuracy. Some are more accurate at measuring distances and other quantities, while some are more reliable in terms of giving estimates, not exact or accurate measurements.

So are measuring wheels accurate and reliable? That actually depends on a number of factors. One important factor is the flatness of the surface. This is because measuring wheels can only take flat distances into account, and not elevations. If you roll the wheel over uneven terrain, this will likely affect the accuracy of the reading. Sand and mud can also affect the wheel’s measurements, and so can obstacles in its path. However, as long as the ground is flat, or you simply need an estimated distance, the measuring wheel should suffice.

The Wheel Master by Calculated Industries is calibrated to be as accurate as possible. Even so, it should be used in the best circumstances possible.

Who is the Wheel Master For?

The Wheel Master is a great addition to the toolboxes of various professionals. It’s commonly used by surveyors for preliminary measurements or get a sense of the size and scope of a particular area. However, it can also be useful to engineers, contractors, landscapers, real estate agents, and more.
