Dumpy Level - Definition, Parts, Procedure and Applications

Applications of dumpy level include construction, surveying, road work, and land development.

Dumpy level is an optical instrument used for measuring height differences; its function is to determine elevations.

Levels are checked by centering the bubble in the bubble tubes using foot screws and ensuring it stays centered in different telescope positions.

Dumpy level works by establishing a horizontal line of sight, allowing measurement of height variations relative to a reference point.

Dumpy level is adjusted by leveling screws for horizontal alignment and focusing screws for clarity of sight through the telescope.

To set up a dumpy level, fix it to a tripod, adjust the height, level it using foot screws, and focus the telescope for clear vision.
