    Two Pegs Test

    The Two Peg Test is a surveying procedure used to check if the leveling bubble and telescope are parallel. It involves setting up a level at a central point and taking staff readings from points 30 meters apart on either side. The level is then moved beyond the farthest point and readings are retaken from the original points to check for any errors indicating the bubble and telescope are not parallel. Performing this test ensures the true error is smaller than the permissible error for leveling work.

    TWO PEG TEST

    INTRODUCTION Two Peg Test is a surveying operation carried out to determine whether the levelling bubble and telescope line of sight are parallel

    THEORY By using the levelling method, work for establishing Temporary Bench Mark (TBM). Distances between backsight and foresight must be more or less equivalent to avoid collimation errors. The survey work is to ensure so that the true error is smaller than the permissible error Backsight is the first sight taken after temporary levelling of the instrument has been carried out. Foresight is last sight taken before the instrument is transferred to another point.

    INSTRUMENT Level Staff (2 sets) Tripod Tape (1 set)

    PROCEDURE 1. Measure out 3 points (A,B,C) 30m apart, and mark them on the ground 2. Set up the level at the centre point B, and put the staff at A 3. Level the instrument. 4. Bubble Test: Check the bubble on reversal (turn it 180) 5. Sight the staff, focus, remove parallax, refocus 6. Read the staff, book the entry, read the staff again. 7. Move the staff to point C, sight the staff, read the staff, book the entry, read the staff again. 8. Move the instrument to 2m beyond C on the line ABC 9. Sight the staff, read the staff, books the entry, read the staff again. 10. Move the staff to point A, sight the staff, read the staff, book the entry, read the staff again.
