Definitions1. Datum line ( M.S.L. ) :-is an imaginary level line from which the
vertical distances of different points are measured. In india, datum is the mean sea level at Mumbai.
2. Reduced level ( R.L) :- Is the vertical distance of a point from datum line.
3. Benchmark (B .M ) :-These are fixed points or marks of known RL determined with reference to the datum line. They serve as reference to the points for finding the RL of new points.
4. Back sight ( B.S.) :- Is the first staff reading taken in any setup of the instrument after the levelling has been perfectly done.
5. Fore sight (F.S) :- Is the last staff reading taken in any setup of the instrument.
6. Intermediate sight ( I.S.) :- Is reading taken between the back sight and fore sight reading .
7. Elevation of line of sight ( H.I) :- is the RL of the line of collimation. This is obtained by adding the BS reading to the RL of the BM or CP on which the staff reading was taken.

• A Level is an instrument with a telescope that can be leveled with a spirit bubble.
• The optical line of sight forms a horizontal plane, which is at the same elevation as the telescope crosshair.
• By reading a graduated rod held vertically on a point of known elevation (Bench Mark) a difference in elevation can be measured and a height of instrument (H.I.) calculated by adding the rod reading to the elevation of the bench mark.
• Once the height of instrument is established, rod readings can be taken on subsequent points and their elevations calculated by simply subtracting the readings from the height of instrument.

Types of Level
1. Dumpy Level
2. Wye ( or Y ) Level
3. Reversible Level
4. Tilting Level
5. Automatic Level
![Page 6: 3. LEVELING by Tarun Sharma](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5695d0491a28ab9b0291d303/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1. Dumpy Level
Telescope is rigidly fixed.
Can neither be removed from its supports nor rotated about its longitudinal axis.
It is commonly used.
![Page 7: 3. LEVELING by Tarun Sharma](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5695d0491a28ab9b0291d303/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2. Wye Level
Telescope is held in two ‘Y’ supports.
Can be removed from its supports.
It can be rotated about its longitudinal axis.
![Page 8: 3. LEVELING by Tarun Sharma](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5695d0491a28ab9b0291d303/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
3. Reversible Level Combination of dumpy
level and the ‘Y’ level.
Supported by two rigid sockets.
Can be rotated about its longitudinal axis.
Can be withdrawn from the socket.

4. Tilting Level
Can be tilted slightly about its horizontal axis with the help of a tilting screw.

5. Automatic Level
Also known as self aligning level.

Levelling Staff
Graduated wooden rod used for measuring the vertical distances between the points on the ground and the line of collimation.
Usually of length 4m.
Least count = 0.005 m

Leveling of the instrument is done to make the vertical axis of the instrument truly vertical. It is achieved by carrying out the following steps:
Step 1: The level tube is brought parallel to any two of the foot screws, by rotating the upper part of the instrument. Step 2: The bubble is brought to the centre of the level tube by rotating both the foot screws either inward or outward. (The bubble moves in the same direction as the left thumb.) Step 3: The level tube is then brought over the third foot screw again by rotating the upper part of the instrument.Step 4: The bubble is then again brought to the centre of the level tube by rotating the third foot screw either inward or outward.
TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENT OF LEVEL

Step 5: By rotating the upper part of the instrument through 180 ° , the level tube is brought parallel to first two foot screws in reverse order. The bubble will remain in the centre if the instrument is in permanent adjustment.
