plan measurers by Calculated Industries
Plan measurers open new ways of working with maps, blueprints, and other types of technical drawings. Indeed, they are some of the handiest tools that allow AEC professionals, drafters, and others who work with drawings to confidently get measurements with speed and accuracy.

In this fast-paced and digital age, tools like plan measurers by Calculated Industries (CI) help professionals keep up with the demands of their work. Here are some of the best features of these tools:

Built-in Scales plus Custom Scale Feature

Scale Master Pro 6335Drawings are scaled-up or scaled-down versions of objects and structures. Thus, when taking measurements from them, it’s important to note what scale or scales are used. To provide users with greater flexibility in working with different drawings, CI plan measurers have both built-in scales and a custom-scale feature.

Most measurer models, like the Scale Master Pro Digital Plan Measure - 6025 have up to 72 built-in scales composed of both imperial and metric units. In the event that what a user needs is not within the built-in options, they can choose to customize and store custom scales in their device. This way, users can use the exact scale they need and save it in their measurer for next time.

Date Storage and Auto Calculation 

Aside from being a measuring device, plan measurers also have storage and calculation capacities. For example, you can use a CI Scale Master Pro XE Advanced 6135 to get length, width, and height values. Then, the instrument can automatically provide you with figures like area and volume. This makes measuring jobs more efficient while minimizing possible sources of errors.

CI plan measurers also have a Constant (+K) key that allows adding or subtracting a constant value from measurements.

Built-in Counter

Dimensions and measurements aren’t all the important details in a drawing, especially when the drawing represents an object that has to be constructed and assembled. For such drawings, a part of the job is to count the number of items needed, like studs, outlets, and the like. Fortunately, CI plan measurers are built with a push-button counter that can work while the tool is rolling and measuring. The counter also works with add and subtract buttons in case such operations are needed.

Lock Switch

Working with multiple scales and modes can be confusing. To avoid confusion and errors, CI plan measurers like the Scale Master Pro 6028 have a mode lock switch that keeps the device in the same mode while rolling. With this feature, users can confidently continue using their measurer without worrying whether it’s in the right mode or not.

CI plan measurers are just some of the most reliable tools by Calculated Industries. Visit CI’s page on Engineer Warehouse for more details.

When we talk about ergonomic office furniture , one kind of table comes to mind: a height-adjustable desk. This type of desk is exactly what it sounds like—it’s designed to have an adjustable height. But why does this desk even exist? For one, height-adjustable desks are used by workers who prefer to switch from a sitting position to a standing position throughout the day.
