The Two Peg Test Balance Method

To Determine the collimation error of a Level Instrument

A few reminders:

see levelling presentation

We will use convention that error is the result of the observed value minus the true value It follows that the correction to the observed value then must have the opposite sign as the error RR = Rod Reading BS = Backsight RR FS = Foresight RR EL = Elevation DEL = difference in elevation = BS – FS ( one setup) = ΣBS – ΣFS (involving a number of turns) DEL = final EL – initial EL H

=H Horizontal i t l Di Distance t

Σ

= summation

sum of

e.g. ΣBS = BS1 + BS2 + BS3 . . . + BSLast

Neglecting Curvature and refraction

in 60m c+r c r = 0.0002m

Corrections involved in 1 setup

DEL from F to G = f – g = fe – ge + (HF – HG)*c Then in general

For any setup

DEL = BScorrected – FScorrected = BSobserved – FSobserved + (Hto BS – Hto FS)*c DEL = BScorrected – FScorrected = BSobserved – FSobserved + (imbalance)*c For any section involving a number of turns

(since linear)

DEL = ΣBScorrected–ΣFScorrected=ΣBSobserved–ΣFSobserved+(ΣHto BS – ΣHto FS)*c DEL = ΣBScorrected–ΣFScorrected=ΣBSobserved –ΣFSobserved+(total imbalance)*c fe
