Additional Information for Plane Table Surveying Set
A Plane Table Surveying Set is a collection of instruments used in the field of surveying to measure and map the land. It typically includes the following components:
1. Plane Table: A flat, level table used as a base for surveying measurements. It usually has a built-in compass and leveling screws to ensure accuracy.
2. Alidade: A sighting device mounted on the plane table that allows the surveyor to measure angles and distances. It typically consists of a telescope or a sight vane with a vernier scale.
3. Tripod: A three-legged stand used to support the plane table. It provides stability and allows the surveyor to adjust the height and position of the table.
4. Ranging Rod: A long, graduated rod used to measure distances during surveying. It is typically made of wood or metal and has markings in feet or meters.
5. Plumb Bob: A weighted object attached to a string or wire used to establish vertical reference lines. It helps ensure that measurements are taken accurately in relation to gravity.
6. Drawing Instruments: Various drafting tools such as pencils, erasers, rulers, protractors, and compasses are included in the set to aid in drawing maps and diagrams.
These instruments are essential for conducting plane table surveying, which involves observing and recording measurements directly on the plane table in the field. The surveyor uses the alidade to sight specific points of interest and record their angles and distances on the table. This data is then used to create accurate maps and plans.
