Leveling Instruments

The tripod of a Digital Leveling Instrument

When buying a spirit level instrument, you should bear in mind that a spirit level instrument is usually supplied without a tripod. Although there are always exceptions such as the Bosch GOL200. You can of course also order your high-quality tripod from Toolnation, the most reliable supplier of A-brand tools in the Netherlands.

Setting up a Digital Spirit Level

A good tripod contains three legs and a fastening construction to which the spirit level instrument is attached. On the spirit level instrument itself is a box level that indicates whether the measuring tool is level. The leveling of the measuring tool is done using the leveling instrument's adjustment legs. You do not level measuring tools by adjusting the tripod, although it is important that the tripod is placed as straight and stable as possible. Once the measuring instrument is correctly positioned, it has a minimum error margin of approximately 1 to 2 millimeters at a distance of 1 kilometer. A useful trick to minimize this error margin is to level from the center. This reduces the error margin by 50 percent.

The quality of a Leveling Instrument

Apart from the minimum margin of error, the superior quality measuring instruments that you buy from Toolnation have even more to offer. The current generation of spirit level instruments are a spirit level, a tilt meter and an angle meter all rolled into one tool. Without all the measuring functions being inferior to that individual measuring tool.

Toolnation sells only measuring tools that can withstand the toughest weather conditions. Weather or no weather, the spirit level tools you find at Toolnation can withstand all types of weather.

Vulnerable parts such as the lenses are mounted in a strong housing and provided with dust and splash protection.
