Greetings to all the happy friends of steemit. Hope you guys are healthy and all right. On this occasion I will write about the theodolite tools according to my knowledge.
Theodolite is one of the measuring tools used to determine the height of a surface and the location or position of a point. Theodolite has a flat angle and angle upright in performing a measurement so that with theodolite we can determine the elevation, distance and position of a point in the measurement. Unlike the case with a waterpass that has only horizontal angle only.
Theodolite is somewhat more sophisticated than the waterpass and T0. Because in the angular accuracy of the theodolite device up to 1 second, while the waterpass is still 0.5 degrees or 30 minutes.
Theodolite is a telescope device placed on a rounded base (disc) that can be twisted around the vertical axis, this will allow the horizontal angle to be read. The telescope is also mounted elsewhere that surrounds the horizontal axis, to read vertical angles. So that the angle can be read on a very accurate accuracy.
Theodolite is commonly used for new land clearance surveys, determining the point of stake out of a job, finding a route of a road. With this tool, the overall model of landform or symptom will be mapped quickly and efficiently, especially now many software support to map the elevation of survey results such as Autocad Land Deckstop Development and Autocad Civil 3D.
In addition the use of theodolite is also often used to find the elbow of a building, the foundation point and balance the foundation pile.
So, hopefully useful
