The purpose of level

What is the level used for?

The uses of a level include: Measuring horizontal height differences: Determining the vertical distance between two points. Establish a leveling control network: provide reference points and elevation datums. Measure vertical angles: Calculate included angles or take height measurements. Engineering stakeout: control the height, position and slope of engineering structures. Topographic Surveying: Drawing topographic maps that reflect the shape of the ground. Geological exploration: auxiliary geological survey and mineral exploration. Building construction: Control the elevation and verticality of each phase of the building.

How to use a level

Steps for using the level: Install the level and correct the level. Aim the water gauge, adjust the horizontal wire to coincide with the reading line, and take the reading. Take backsight and forwardsight readings. Calculate the height difference according to the formula. Pay attention to keeping the instrument level, choosing a clear water gauge, taking necessary protective measures and calibrating the instrument regularly.

What are the specifications and models of levels?

The specifications and models of the level are determined by the following: Accuracy level: Indicates the maximum allowable error of measurement. The higher the accuracy, the better. Observation distance: The maximum distance of the leveling rod for clear observation of the level. Magnification type: The ratio between the eyepiece observation level ruler image and the actual ratio. Model: Models with different parameter combinations from different manufacturers. For example, Leica Nivel 26 indicates an accuracy of 2mm and an observation distance of 60m.
