A two peg test is a test for error within a surveying level. This test gives a fairly accurate check for the amount of collimation error. Collimation error is the difference between what the level hairs in the scope say is level, and what is actually level.

To run the test, put two "pegs" e.g. (PK nails, Leveling turtles, etc) 100' apart from eachother. Place the level halfway between the two pegs. Take readings on both pegs and find the difference in elevation.

Move the level 20 past either peg and take readings from both pegs. Find the difference in elevation again. If the elevation is different from the first readings, there is a collimation error.
