TOTAL STATION

  Total station Total station is a combination of theodolite, level, EDM, microprocessor with a specific memory. Total station integrates the functions of a theodolite for measuring angles, an EDM for measuring distances, digital data & data recorder. From this instrument distance, angle, height difference, co-ordinate, area, bearing, perimeter etc. can be easily measured. Its accuracy was in part per million (ppm). It can measured slope distance directly. Topcon, sokia, pentex, Nicon, Leica, Stonex, etc. are the model of total station. Features and Uses of Total station: Total Solution for surveying work   Most accurate of user friendly   Gives position of point (X, Y, Z) W.R.T. known point   EDM was fitted inside Telescope   on board memory to store data  Digital display   Compatibility with computers can be used for carry layout Functions of Total station: 1. It simultaneously measures angle of d...

INDIRECT DISTANCE MEASUREMENT

 INDIRECT DISTANCE MEASUREMENT We discussed on the topic of direct distance measuring instrument on another post . on this we will discuss on the topic of Indirect distance measuring instrument. The method of direct distance measurement is unsuitable in difficult terrain and sometimes Impossible when obstructions occurs. on that condition Indirect Method comes in use.

DISTANCE MEASURING INSTRUMENT

 DISTANCE MEASURING INSTRUMENT To know about the distance measuring instrument first off all we have to know about distance. What is distance? It is length between any two specific point which you want to measure or we fixed on ground. and the instrument which used to measure the length are the distance measuring instruments.   Distance can be measured directly and indirectly with the help of instruments.  On the basics of direct method and indirect method instruments are categorized into two parts, i.e.    A.  Direct Distance measuring instruments B.  Indirect Distance measuring instruments Direct Distance measuring instruments: Direct distance measuring instruments are those types of instrument which used to give the distance / length between any two point at the time of measurement on the field directly without any mathematically calculation or without help of any other instruments. Direct distance measuring instruments are : 1. Chain 2. Tape Chain:...
