For measuring 'plumb' in conjunction with a spirit level.
Use of a plumb bob a level used on plumb rather then horizontal
YES. Level is interpruted to be horizontal and plumb vertical. Now, most levels have a plumb level and can be used in the vertical position. this is stil however checking for plumb and not level. Hope this helps Terry
The plumb bob is useful in establishing vertical for a wall in construction or a doorjamb when hanging a door. It can indicate whether a flue is running true vertical or veering off plumb. A plumb-bob or a plummet is a weight, usually with a pointed tip on the bottom, that is suspended from a string and used as a vertical reference line, or plumb-line. It is essentially the vertical equivalent of a water level.
A plumb bob is a weighted instrument used in construction and carpentry to create a vertical reference line. It helps ensure that structures are built accurately and in alignment with a true vertical.
The homonym of "plum" is "plumb," which refers to a weight on the end of a line to measure water depth or a tool used for finding the vertical in construction.
Vertical
did you find the answer
When an object is plumb, it means that it is perfectly vertical and aligned with the force of gravity. This is typically determined using a plumb bob or a level to ensure that the object is straight up and down.
Use a plumb line.
Yes it does! :)
To show a vertical line
Plumb as in "Plumb a door frame or cabinet?" Plumb is having something 90 degrees to level. The floor is level and the door frame, the vertical, up and down part is plumb in relationship to that. I'm sure this term comes from using a Plumb Bob. That's a heavy pointed ball on a string.. It will always show you the plumb line. Haven't heard the term used in plumbing.
