What is Line of Collimation in Levelling?
it is line set out by the optical axis of the instrument ( level). so it is just an imaginary line that describes the ray of light that allowes us to read different values from the leveling staff. this term arose from the fact that in differential leveling in surveying we must construct horizontal line of sight, but due to collimation error the collimation line (i.e. line of sight) will not be 100% horizontal (by horizontal we mean tangent the level surface at the instrument position), instead it will be slightly deviated. so what we are looking to achieve when we eliminate the collimation error (using the 2 peg test) is a horizontal line of collimation.
What is the height of collimation?
The height of collimation is the height of the line of sight. It is the vertical distance of the horizontal plane through a telescope.
What is the two peg test?
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.
What is collimation error?
error in alignment between the optical axis of a telescope & the declination. it is line set out by the optical axis of the instrument ( level). so it is just an imaginary line that describes the ray of light that allows us to read different values from the leveling staff. this term arose from the fact that in differential leveling in surveying we must construct horizontal line of sight, but due to collimation error the collimation line (i.e. line of sight) will not be 100% horizontal (by horizontal we mean tangent the level surface at the instrument position), instead it will be slightly deviated. so what we are looking to achieve when we eliminate the collimation error (using the 2 peg test) is a horizontal line of collimation.
What is a type of collimation device?
diaphragm
How can avoid error in spirit leveling collimation error refraction error division of staff?
Collimation Error: Collimation error occurs when the collimation axis is not truly horizontal when the instrument is level. The effect is illustrated in the sketch below, where the collimation axis is tilted with respect to the horizontal by an angle α: Figure ( ) In this particular example, the effect is to read too high on the staff. For a typical collimation error of 20", over a sight length of 50m the effect is 5mm. If the sight lengths for back sight and foresight are equal, the linear effect is the same for both readings. When the height difference is calculated, this effect cancels: δh = (b + s. α) - (f + s. α) = b - f That is, the effect of the collimation error is eliminated if sight lengths are kept equal.
Why is collimation used for telescopes?
Collimation is used for telescopes to make sure the telescopes are perfectly aligned. The reflector will not produce the best image if the aligned is not just right.
What is the meaning of the height of collimation?
This term is used in surveying. 'Height of collimation' means height of instrument.Generally this term is used while doing levelling i.e. Measuring elevation of given point.
Importance of observing face left and face right in surveying?
is to eliminate collimation error
What is collimation error in angular measurement?
Is error comes when the line of sight does not coincide with the optical axis of theodolite.
An automatic collimation is also known as?
