Bosch GLM 50-27 C vs GLM 50 C - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
Let's take the two laser distance meters GLM 50-27 C and GLM 50 C the Make Bosch in the comparison and look at the differences.
measuring range / distance
The measuring range of a laser rangefinder is extremely important. The number describes the maximum distance the device can measure. For most devices the maximum distance can be derived from the name.
Both devices can reach a maximum distance of 50,00 m. Thus, there is no difference between the two laser rangefinders in this point.
The minimum distance is the Bosch GLM 50-27 C at 50,00 m. The Bosch GLM 50 C can determine a minimum distance of 50,00 m for the measuring range.
The indicated measuring range usually refers to ideal conditions. Poor weather conditions can affect the measuring range. This includes fog, for example. This is interesting for use on construction sites. In home use, this usually plays hardly any role. Under bad conditions the possible measuring range is smaller.
Measuring accuracy
The better a laser rangefinder is, the more accurate the results. The differences here are in the range of a few millimeters.
At the point of measurement accuracy both devices perform equally well with a maximum deviation of +/- 1,50 mm. Therefore, there is no difference at this point in the comparison. Therefore, there is no difference at this point in the comparison. In bad weather conditions, the measuring accuracy can be worse, just like in the measuring range.
Good rangefinders can output smaller steps in the measurement. Of course this also affects the accuracy of the measurement. In this comparison both laser distance meters have steps of minimal 0,50 mm. This means that the two devices lie on the same surface.
Measurement functions
Most devices offer even more than simple distance measurement. This includes area function, room function and summation.
The area function is offered by both devices from the comparison. Here you can calculate the area from your measurements directly with the laser measuring device.
Both measuring devices from this comparison offer you a room function which allows you to determine volume (m³). Classically this function is used to determine a room size.
Both distance meters have 30 memory locations to store measured values.
Inclination measurement
With the inclination measurement angles can be determined. This is not possible with every laser rangefinder. In this comparison both devices offer you an inclination measurement.
Both cover a range of 360 °. The smallest measuring unit in the tilt measurement is the Bosch GLM 50-27 C at 0,20 °. For the Bosch GLM 50 C 0,10 ° are the smallest measuring units. The accuracy is at the Bosch GLM 50-27 C at 0,10 °. For the Bosch GLM 50 C the measuring accuracy of the slope is 0,20 °.
Accumulator and batteries
To save energy, both devices switch off automatically. The automatic switch-off time is 5 minutes for both measuring devices.
