AIM/PURPOSE: To describe the instruction for the calibration of Dumpy Level to ensure that equipment is maintained in fully serviceable condition, is safe to operate and meets environmental requirements. FOR THE CALIBRATION OF DUMPY LEVEL The method described below is to be used on-site check prior to use as to the accuracy of the Dumpy level between calibration checks. This Work instruction shall be conducted at the commencement and completion of a contract. 1. Drive two pegs, "A" & "B", into the ground six metres or more apart 2. Set Dumpy up at "C" 3. Shoot a level at "A" and "B" 4. Relocate Dumpy to "D" and shoot a level at "A" and "B" 5. Record the appropriate result in the workbook. (Levels shot at "D" should be within ± 10mm of "C") D A C B
Usually with electronically controlled valves or any other device that has movement limits, there will be either a slotted ribbon, or 2 sensors and a stepper motor where the device can auto calibrate by moving until both sensors are hit, then it can calibrate it's self and move to a predetermined home position. The same is with a ribbon, (a good example of that design is a printer where you will see it spin the feed wheels and move the heads from side to side on startup to calibrate it's self) Usually electronically controlled valves do not need any user adjustment for calibration. (at least with heating and cooling systems)
Put the spirit level on a flat surface, check that the bubble is in the middle of the little glass vial. If it is, the machine is level.
US = Up Stream invert level DS= Down Stream invert level If detailed on a manhole, the difference being the gradient of pipe in chamber from one end to the other.
High hotwell level will get the cooling water tubes of condenser submerged in the condensate hence cooling efect will be reduced consequentaly vacuum will drop. Low hotwell level will lead to low suction pressure of Condensate Extraction Pump hence it may lead to cavitation.
I think that would be about the sound level while watching a TV. I think housing codes are set to maintain a 45 dbA level sound-proofing for the interior of homes.
it is a spirit level
how we calibrate the level switch
The auto level makes it easier to do the work. Using the dumpy level requires you to put in all of the work.

One advantage of the dumpy level is that it is extremely mobile. A disadvantage is the difficult in using and making accurate measurements.
Dumpy
It is named so because of the shorter telescope it uses and also because in the original dumpy level the eye piece was an inverting lens such that it gave a shorter view for the same power of lens compared to wye level.
i honestly dont know
Dumpy level provides a horizontal line (parallel to earth's curvature); you can read the scale by holding it normal to the ground level. Take separate readings for separate points then compare them
The term "dumpy level" is derived from its compact and robust design, which resembles a small, squat instrument. The "dumpy" aspect refers to its low-profile appearance, making it stable and easy to use in various surveying tasks. This level is particularly appreciated for its durability and simplicity, which contribute to its effectiveness in construction and land surveying.
First take the dumpy level to the place of surveying and place the tripod on the ground. Make sure that the three points of the tripod is placed such that the observer can take readings quite easily. Then take the dumpy level and place it on tripod and fix the center nut and make sure that the dumpy level doesn't shake. Then check the bubble level in the dumpy level and use adjust the main level screw so that at least 2/3 of the bubble is inside the circular area of the bubble level. Then adjust it by the other two screws and rotate the dumpy level 90 degrees and check whether the bubble shows a leveled stage. If it shows that the bubble is centered then it is O.K the dumpy level is leveled..... Then in order to take a reading, the u bubble should have to be leveled adjust the screw in the right side(there are a few adjusting screws,please get to know the actions performed by the screws, for that we must handle the instrument for sometime) and make sure the 'U' shape is formed. Now the instrument is ready take readings.....
A dumpy level is a type of surveying instrument that has a fixed horizontal line of sight, whereas a tilting level can be manually adjusted to tilt in order to measure slopes or inclines. Dumpy levels are simpler to use and provide accurate horizontal measurements, while tilting levels are more versatile for measuring slopes and inclines.
