We measure structural steel frames and pipe. would this tool work for this?

Yes the tool will measure any straight line distance as long as the end point has something to reflect on. If the far end of the distance does not have a surface I can reflect on I just have my co worker hold up a flat surface such as a clip board or any other flat surface within reach. They sell targets that I believe are magnetic if you are working alone. The glasses work quite well outdoors in bright sun if you are having trouble seeing the laser. It will not reflect off of glass.

If measuring diameter, they would need to have an ID greater than 9". Measuring pipe lengths are tricky because you need a stop point for the laser to hit. Someone or something would need to be a reflecting plane to bounce the laser off at the end of the length of pipe/steel. It is best for wall to wall measurements, where you butt to the wall or hook to the corner and shoot to the other wall face. It might work for measuring your steel frames if it is rectangular tube steel, angle or plate. Pipe frames would be problematic.

it will not measure Gage, but it will accurately measure lengths, its tough to see the lazor in bright daylight

Structural steel frames definitely. Pipes also but depending on the type of pipe might be more or less work. You need a target to hit with the laser, so pipes with no flanges would require a laser target (pretty much any opaque object). You would need to attach the target, or have a second person hold it.If you will measure outdoors in daylight, I strongly recommend you also buy red laser enhancement gogles, which cost abot $10.

I believe so. I work for an architect, I think you will find it a useful tool.

You would find this a useful tool. I work for an architect and we use it to do field measurements.

Not trying to be glib, but actually both of the previous answers are correct. The really short answer is no, it won't, but that's really a qualified no. If you went to the trouble of acquiring, or more likely making, the appropriate probes for what you wanted to measure, then sure, this will display a waveform, but then you have to know how to interpret the waveforms, to know if what you measured is behaving correctly. In other words, you can probably make this work as an automotive scope, but by the time you're done, you'll have something cobbled together that ended up costing more and not working as well as just going out and buying an automotive scope. A purpose-built tool is ALWAYS better than a generic tool, easier to use for that purpose, and many times actually cheaper than cobbling something together.

It is designed and calibrated for specific buidling products. It would not work for this use, and was not the least bit accurate. Using both probes on the same material did not produce results that were remotely similar. I returned the product.

Yes. This is a really great tool. there are some good YouTube videos on how to use it and how it works

Probably not as a direct reading. Likely the surface temperature of the glass will be read. You would likely have more luck measuring the surrounding walls and frame.

I doubt it since there is no gauge to measure air pressure or flow rate. But I do know that it does a great job on indicating that there is a flow of air in a pipe.

This is not heavy duty. I can make a heavy duty galvanized steel pipe frame, contact my office.

Yes, you should be able to use this General Tool for what you need. I bought this moisture meter because I am a Home Inspector and Environmental. I am very happy with this moisture meter. Good luck.

I am not 100% sure, but i think so. It is a good tool. My employees put up a 70 X 40 foot Steel Arch building with it and it worked great. Over 3000 bolts.

I have this tool and have used it on lots of different walls - but haven't used it to find rebar or post tension . I would have to say with some time spent using this sub-scanner figuring out a setting with a scrap piece of concrete with rebar in it - it should pinpoint it ! I have found through this scanner in drywall/ plywood how someone covered up mistakes with out tearing out drywall / plywood walls ! On that project it paid for itself !

I think that this would work very well. I have used this to measure temps on computer processors and heat buildup on electrical components. should do what you want.

I had one and returned it because it was totally inaccurate. I built my house and I know where the pipes are, it was showing PVC pipes in exterior walls that I KNOW are not present. I wouldn't spend any amount of money on this - and I'm a huge Dewalt fan.

I have only used it to detect wooden studs behind gypsum board. I suggest you check it out at the manufacture's web site. Copy/paste this address in your browser's address bar: http://www.franklinsensors.com/products/prosensor_710.php

What it can cut depends on the bit you use. I would not think that this is the best choice for steel door frames, but then again I am a woodworker and do not even know what is available for metal working, just out of my area.

Yes, it will. I am very happy with this unit. Since it was comparatively less expensive than some other models I had my doubts. I use it in my country cottage to determine wall, wood burning furnace, and pipe temperatures. Unfortunately, my pipes froze before I ordered this. I like this unit so much, that I am going to order one for my home.

It should work for that. I bought it to look at jewelry and markings and it works for that.

It should I got it to measure gas pressure after the regulatory in inches of wc. It also measures in other scales seems accurate and sensitive. Check the specifications.
