What is a measuring wheel, and how to use it?

When trundle wheels roll down the ground, they can figure out the distance between two spots accurately. The measuring wheel is easy to use. Adjust the handle to a suitable level; press the reset button to set the counter for zero; walk moderately to the final measuring point. And finally, the figure will be displayed on a digital screen on the wheel measuring tool.

How accurate is a measuring wheel?

Most measuring wheels on Alibaba.com measure in meters, ranging from 0-99999.9 meters(328083.67 feet). The walking measuring wheel usually has a single, 318mm(12.54 inches) diameter wheel with an adjustable handle and a gear-driven distance counter with a push button reset, and they had reported an accuracy within 0.5% or even 0.3%, or ± 3 to 5 inches in 100 feet in ideal conditions. There are some ways to get an accurate measurement. Collect as many measurements of the required material as possible, calculate the average of the measurements, determine the absolute value of the difference between each measurement and the average, and calculate the average of all deviations by adding them all together and dividing by the number of measurements.

Where can a measuring wheel be used?

A distance measuring wheel is widely used in construction, road building, and landscaping. It is an ideal tool for outdoor work due to its unique characteristics and advantages. The rolling measuring wheel is generally made of ABS, an engineering plastic and aluminum alloy, which is strong and wear-resistant, allowing it to be used on complex road surfaces for a long time. Such materials are also light, and the whole measuring wheel can be folded into a small one, making it a practical tool for outdoor workers. Moreover, the walking measuring wheel has rubber and an ergonomic handle, a design that is hard to slip and reduces the user's fatigue. Besides, the bottoms of the tool are usually waterproof and dustproof, suitable to be exposed to bad weather like heavy rain or sandstorms.
