What Is an Optical Level?
Optical levels are instruments that use optical principles to measure horizontal and vertical alignments. They are essential in architecture and civil engineering for tasks like leveling and measuring elevation differences.
Optical levels include manual levels, which require manual adjustment for measurements, and auto levels, which automatically adjust for more accurate and easier operation.
Applications of optical levels range from leveling foundations, walls, and floors in buildings to measuring elevation differences in roads and bridges, ensuring safety at construction sites, and surveying.
