How to check whether the level gauge is truly level

 

A horizontal ruler is one of the commonly used tools in construction, mainly used for detecting or measuring levels and verticality, serving as a horizontal reference. However, before using a horizontal ruler, it is necessary to ensure that it is in a horizontal state in order to use it normally. So how can a horizontal ruler be determined whether it is horizontal?


1. The method for testing whether a handheld level gauge is level is to first place the level gauge against the wall, level the water on the level gauge, draw a line on the wall, then exchange the left and right ends of the level gauge, and then place it on the originally drawn line to see. If the level gauge overlaps with the line and the water in the level tube of the level gauge is still level, it indicates that the level gauge is level and can continue to be used; If there is no overlap, it is necessary to adjust the screw of the water level pipe to correct it.


2. To ensure that the reference plane of the level gauge is horizontal, a plug gauge can also be used to check on the platform. First, operate on the calibration instrument, calibrate the level bubble, firmly fix it after calibration, and then start the inspection. Turn around 180 degrees at the same position. If the bubble position is the same, it proves that the level gauge is qualified; If there is a deviation, a plug gauge can be used to measure the error range and make adjustments.


In addition, it should be noted that the principle of leveling with a level ruler is to determine a plane based on two intersecting lines, so it is necessary to measure two non parallel positions within the same plane to determine the level of the plane.


How to adjust the level with a vertical ruler

The horizontal ruler is mainly used for inspecting, measuring, and debugging whether the equipment is installed horizontally. If the vertical horizontal ruler itself is not horizontal, then it cannot measure well. Therefore, the horizontal ruler

How to adjust the level?


The horizontal ruler is equipped with horizontal bubbles. Generally, the horizontal ruler has three glass tubes, each with a bubble. The horizontal glass tube is used to measure the horizontal plane, the horizontal glass tube is used to measure the vertical plane, and the other is generally used to measure a 45 degree angle. The three bubbles are used to measure whether the measurement surface is horizontal. If the bubble is centered, it is horizontal. If the bubble deviates, the plane is not horizontal; When adjusting, place the level ruler on the object being measured. If the bubble of the level ruler leans towards which side, it indicates which side is higher. That is, it is necessary to lower the height of that side or increase the height of the opposite side. Adjusting the bubble to a horizontal state indicates that the object being measured is horizontal in that direction.
