Can a level be used to measure angles
A horizontal ruler is a tool used to measure levels, usually mainly used to measure levelness and levelness. Sometimes, angle measurement is required during construction, and a goniometer is needed. Can a horizontal ruler measure angles?
Usually, a regular level does not have the function of measuring angles and is only used to detect or measure levels and verticality; Of course, there are also horizontal rulers with an angle gauge on the scale surface of the ruler body, which can help measure angles. With the development of technology, electronic digital level can also be used to measure angles. Its function is very powerful. In addition to measuring level, it can also measure inclination, absolute angle, relative angle, inclination, etc.
How to measure angles with an electronic digital level
Electronic digital level is a relatively advanced level. Compared with ordinary level, it is easier to understand and has many functions. Measuring angle is one of them. Below, we will introduce the method of measuring angle with electronic level:
1. Absolute angle measurement
Press the "power switch" button to directly enter the absolute angle measurement state, and the LCD digital display screen will display the angle value between the measured surface and the horizontal plane. When the angle between the working surface of the level and the horizontal plane changes, the angle value will also change accordingly. When the inclination direction prompt is displayed as "/", it indicates that the horizontal ruler is low on the left and high on the right, and the displayed angle value is a positive number; When displayed as "", it indicates that the horizontal ruler is high on the left and low on the right, and the displayed angle value is negative; When the measured angle exceeds the measurement range, the level will display an error prompt.
2. Relative angle measurement
Place the level on the first measured surface, press the "absolute/relative" button, and it will display as 0.00; The relative angle measurement prompt "<" appears at the top right of the LCD screen, and the horizontal ruler moves towards the second measured surface. At this time, the displayed value on the LCD screen is the relative angle between the two measured surfaces mentioned above. Press the "Absolute/Relative" button again to convert to absolute angle measurement.
