    Two-Peg Test: Adjustment of The Line of Sight

    Uploaded by

    IAN DOMINIC LAGMAN
    The two-peg test is used to check if a dumpy level's line of sight is parallel to the level vial's axis and horizontal. It involves measuring the elevation difference between two stakes (DEa and DEb) which should be equal, or between two points on a single stake (DEm and DEp) which should also be equal. If the measurements are unequal, it indicates the line of sight is not horizontal and the test needs to be performed. The test determines the inclination of the line of sight and can correct measurements to account for any errors.

    TWO-PEG TEST

    ADJUSTMENT OF THE LINE OF SIGHT


    TWO-PEG TEST
    • The line of sight is adjusted to make it parallel to the axis of the level
    vial. There is always a possibility that the line of sight of a dumpy level
    will be inclined either above or below the horizontal. Such a condition
    will introduce corresponding errors when determining differences in
    elevation.
    FIRST METHOD (CONVENTIONAL)
    DEa = a – b
    DEb = d – c
    DEa = DEb
    IF DEa IS NOT EQUAL TO DEb, the line of sight is
    not horizontal, perform two-peg test.

    A

    B
    FIRST METHOD
    e = d – d’ TDE = (1/2)(TDEa + TDEb)
    e = b – b’
    DEb = d – c TDE = (1/2)(DEa + DEb)
    DEa = a – b
    TDEa = a – b’ TDEb = d’ – c d’ = TDE + c
    TDEa = a – (b – e) TDEb = (d – e) – c b’ = TDE + a
    TDEa = (a – b) + e TDEb = (d – c) – e

    ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEM
    SECOND METHOD (ALTERNATE)
    DEm = a – b
    DEp = c – d
    IF DEm IS NOT EQUAL TO DEp, the line of sight is
    not horizontal, perform two-peg test
    (alternate).

    P
    SECOND METHOD (ALTERNATE)
    ERROR AT A = ERROR AT B If d is greater than d’, the line of sight
    DEm = a – b is inclined upward; if d is less than d’, it
    DEp = c – d is inclined downward.
    I = DEm – Dep = (a – b) – (c – d) 𝒆𝒏 𝑰 c’ = c - en
