  1. Leveling Intro to Leveling

  2. Why do we level? • To determine elevation with respect to an imaginary level surface (geoid) • Leveling allows you to tie the depths acquired with the sonar to the geoid

  3. Leveling

  4. Equipment Level – An instrument used for measuring vertical distances

  5. Compensated level

  6. Level rod A long brightly painted rod, accurately calibrated in metric units (or feet and inches), used for obtaining elevations and stadia measurements of distance in mapping with a major surveying instrument.

  9. Leveling terminology cont. Bust – Error is outside of tolerance for comparison of the forward run to the backward run Blunder – Gross error caused by human mistake Thread Interval- Difference between upper thread and middle thread, lower thread and middle thread Thread error- Inaccurate reading of rod resulting in greater than 2mm difference between thread interval

Ideally, the thread intervals should be equal, however this seldom occurs in the field. Thread intervals for 3rd order levels should match within 2 therefore, this would be an acceptable reading. 08
