approved standards. This includes validation.
The calibration of equipments to be done in-house is:
• Compression testing machine
• Weigh Batcher
y
The equipments to be used for the purpose of calibration will be vernier calipers, measuring tape,
calibrated weights, etc. These equipments must be calibrated against National Indian standards
op
which in turn will calibrate equipments at various sites.
The equipments which require calibration from outside agency are as under:
• Weights
C
• Proving ring / Dial gauges
The external agencies which will carry out calibration are Bureau of weights and measures,

C
1. Sighted telescope at a clearly defined object. (Point ‘x’ approximately 30 meters away
from the instrument )
∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C ≅ 180 ° 00 ′ 00 ″ +/- 00 ′ 20 ″.
= 179 ° 59 ′ 40 ″ to 180 ° 00 ′ 20 ″
1. Setting up
This adjustment includes the following 2 operations
y
a. Centering the Theodolite over a station
b. Approximately leveling it by the tripod legs only
op
To setup the instrument over a station:
i. Place the instrument over the station by spreading the legs of the tripod well apart, in such
a way that the telescope is at a convenient height, the plumb bob is approximately over
C
the station mark and the leveling head is approximately in level.
ii. Lift the instrument bodily without disturbing the relative positions of the legs and move it
so that the plumb bob hangs about 2 cm above and within 1 cm horizontally of the station
mark. d
iii. Now, to bring the plumb bob exactly over the station mark and to approximately level the
instrument, move each leg radially as well as circumferentially. Press the legs firmly into
lle
the ground.
iv. The instrument is said to be centered over the station when the plumb bob hangs exactly
over the station mark. If the instrument has a shifting head, the plumb bob should hang
about 2 to 3 mm above the station mark.
tro
2. Leveling up
Leveling up the instrument means to level it accurately with reference to the plate levels
by means of leveling screws so that the vertical axis is truly vertical. Leveling up is done
as follows;
on
i. Turn the instrument about one of its axes so that the longer plate level is parallel to any
pair of leveling screws. The other plate level will then be parallel to the line joining the
third screw and the mid point of the line joining the first pair.
nc
ii. Bring the bubble to the center of its run by turning both the leveling screws uniformly.
iii. Similarly, bring the other bubble to the center of its run by turning the third leveling
screw.
iv. Repeat the process until both the bubbles are exactly centered.
U
v. Now rotate the instrument about the vertical axis through a complete revolution. If the
plate levels are in correct adjustment each bubble will remain in the center of its run. The
vertical axis will be then truly vertical.

3. Elimination of parallax
The parallax is said to be eliminated if the image formed by the objective lies in the plates
of the cross hairs. It is done in two steps as follows:
y
ii. By focusing the object glass
The object of focussing the object glass is to bring the image of the object formed by the
op
object glass in the plane of the cross hairs. To focus the object glass directly the telescope
towards the object and turn the focussing screws so that the image appears sharp and clear
lying in the plane of cross hairs.
C
1. To make the axis of each plate level perpendicular to the vertical axis.
Test. d
Rotate the instrument about the vertical axis until each level tube is parallel to a pair of
opposite leveling screws. Center the bubbles by means of leveling screws. Rotate the
lle
instrument end for end (by 180 degree) about the vertical axis. If the bubble remains
centered the axis of each plate level is perpendicular to the vertical axis.
Correction.
tro
If the bubbles do not remain centered, then bring them half way back by means of
adjusting screws. Level the instrument again and repeat the process to verify the result.
Test.
Level the instrument and sight on a point A about 200 m away with the telescope normal.
By clamping both the horizontal motions of the instrument, plunge the telescope and set
another point B on the line of collimation and about the same distance away on the
nc
opposite side of the instrument. Unclamp the upper motion, rotate the instrument end for
end about the vertical axis, and again sight at A with the telescope inverted. Clamp the
upper motion. Plunge the telescope as before. If B is on the line of collimation, then the
line of collimation is at right angle to the horizontal axis.
U
Correction.
If B is not on the line of collimation then set a point C on the line of collimation beside B.
Mark a point D one quarter of the distance from C to B and adjust the cross hair ring until
the line of collimation passes through D.

3. To make the vertical cross hair lie in a plane perpendicular to the horizontal
axis
Test.
Sight the vertical cross hair on the well-defined point at a distance of 60 m approximately.
Clamp both the horizontal motion of the instrument and swing the telescope through a
small vertical angle, so that the point traverses the length of the vertical cross hair . If the
point appears to move continuously on the hair, the cross hair lies in a plane
perpendicular to the horizontal axis.
y
Correction.
If the point appears to depart from the cross hair, loosen the two adjacent capstan screws
op
and rotate the cross hair ring in the telescope tube until the point traverse the entire length
of the hair. Now tighten the two screws.
C
Test.
Set two pegs, one about 10 m and the other about 100 m from the instrument. Clamp the
vertical motion and take a rod reading on the distance point, and without disturbing the
vertical motion read the rod on the near point. Plunge the telescope, rotate the instrument
d
about the vertical axis and set the horizontal cross hair at the last rod reading with the rod
held on the near point. Sight to the distant point. If the first and last reading on the distant
lle
rod is the same, the line of sight coincides with the optical axis.
Correction.
If the first and last readings are not the same, then move the horizontal cross hair by
tro
means of the upper and lower adjusting screws until it has apparently traversed over
several times the apparent error. Repeat the process, gradually reducing the movement of
the cross hair as the rod reading to the distant point approach each other, until by
successive approximations the error is reduced to zero.
on
5. To make the vertical circle read zero when the telescope bubble is centered.
Test.
This adjustment is only for those transits, which have fixed vertical verniers, with the
nc
plate bubbles centered, center the telescope bubble and read the vernier of the vertical
circle.
Correction.
If the vernier does not read zero, loosen it and move it until it reads zero. Care should be
U
taken that the vernier will not bind on the vertical circle as the telescope is rotated about
the horizontal axis.
