Tubular Mounted Vial

Tubular Mounted Vials are measuring tools commonly used by craftsmen. They are part of the supply class Measuring Tools and specifically belong to the supply group Measuring Tools.

These vials are typically cylindrical in shape and are mounted onto a tubular frame or housing. They are filled with a liquid, usually a colored liquid such as alcohol or oil, and have a bubble inside. The bubble moves within the vial in response to changes in the level or slope of the surface it is placed on.

Craftsmen use tubular mounted vials to measure and ensure the accuracy of horizontal and vertical surfaces. They are commonly found in various tools such as spirit levels, inclinometers, and other devices used for leveling, aligning, and measuring angles.

The vials are designed to provide visual indications of whether a surface is level or plumb. When the bubble is centered between two reference lines or marks on the vial, it indicates that the surface is level or plumb. If the bubble is off-center, it indicates that the surface is not level or plumb, allowing craftsmen to make necessary adjustments.

Overall, tubular mounted vials are essential tools for craftsmen, providing accurate measurements and ensuring precise alignment in various applications.
