In this blog, we will discuss what is theodolite, the types of theodolite, fundamental lines
of theodolite, uses of theodolite in detail.
Basic information about theodolite
1. What is theodolite?
Theodolite is a precision optical instrument that is used to measure
horizontal and vertical angles. Its
accuracy depends upon its least count.
2. What are the
types of theodolite?
There are two types of theodolite
·
Transit Theodolite.
·
Non-transit Theodolite.
3. Differentiate between transit and
non-transit theodolite?
Transit:-
That type of
theodolite whose telescope can rotate 180 degrees in the vertical
a plane is called transit theodolite.
Non-transit:-
That type of theodolite whose
telescope can rotate 360 degrees in the vertical plane is
called a non-transit theodolite.
4. State the type
of theodolite. According to observing reading?
There are four types of the theodolite. According to observing reading:-
1) Vernier theodolite
2) Microptic theodolite
3) Electronic theodolite
4) Digital theodolite
5. Explain different
parts of theodolite?
There are many parts of the theodolite. Some of these are as follows
·
Telescope
This is an important part of a theodolite. It is
used to sight the object. It can move
in horizontal and vertical planes.
·
Standard
The standard is the frame in letter
A-shape, which sport the telescope.
·
Eyepiece for reading
The eyepiece for reading is used to
clearly observe the reading. It is also an essential
part of the theodolite.
·
Object glass
Object glass is the part of telescope, which is
used to sight the object. Its direction is toward the object that has to be
sighted.
·
Peep sight
Peep sight
makes it possible to point the telescope at the target very speedily and quickly.
6. Fundamental lines of theodolite?
·
Axis of the telescope.
·
Axis of bubble tube
·
Line of collimation
·
Vertical axis
·
Horizontal axis
1. Axis of the telescope?
The imaginary line that matches the optical center of the
object glass and the eyepiece for the object is called the axis of the telescope.
2. What is the bubble axis?
A straight line that is tangential to the longitudinal curve of the level tube
at the center is
called the axis of the bubble tube.
3. What is the line
of collimation?
Line of collimation:-
The imaginary line that passes
through the cross-hair intersection point and center of object glass and moves
forward is called the line of collimation.
Uses of theodolite:-
1) It is used to measure horizontal and vertical angles.
·
It is used to measure horizontal and vertical distance.
·
It is used measure the height of an object.
·
It is also used for levelling work.
·
It is used for prolonging of line.
·
It is used for trigonometric levelling.
