The plane table is an important instrument used in surveying for direct plotting of field data. Proper care and maintenance of the plane table and its accessories are essential to ensure accuracy, durability, and efficient performance. In ITI Draughtsman Civil, students must understand how to handle and maintain this equipment correctly.
Plane table surveying is a graphical method in which field observations and plotting are done simultaneously. To perform this method accurately, a number of instruments and accessories are required. In ITI Draughtsman Civil, understanding these instruments is essential for proper fieldwork and preparation of accurate maps.
In levelling, understanding basic concepts and terms is essential for accurate measurement of elevations. These concepts form the foundation of surveying practices. In ITI Draughtsman Civil, students must clearly understand level surfaces, horizontal surfaces, datum, benchmarks, focusing, and parallax.
Levelling instruments must be properly adjusted before taking observations to ensure accuracy in measurements. Adjustments are classified into temporary adjustments and permanent adjustments. In ITI Draughtsman Civil, students must understand these adjustments and the correct procedure of setting up the instrument in the field.
In theodolite surveying, especially in traverse calculations, it is important to determine the position of points using angular and linear measurements. Terms like departure, latitude, northing, and easting are used to represent the direction and distance of survey lines. In ITI Draughtsman Civil, understanding these concepts is essential for solving traverse problems and plotting accurately.
In traverse surveying, a closed traverse forms a closed polygon where the survey starts and ends at the same point or at known control points. Due to errors in measurement, the traverse may not close perfectly. Therefore, adjustment is required to correct these errors. In ITI Draughtsman Civil, understanding the adjustment of a closed traverse is essential for accurate mapping and engineering work.
Measurement of vertical angles is an important operation in theodolite surveying. It is used to determine the angle of elevation or depression of an object. These measurements help in calculating heights and distances. In ITI Draughtsman Civil, understanding the method of measuring vertical angles is essential for accurate surveying work.
Measurement of horizontal angles is one of the primary functions of a theodolite. It is widely used in surveying for traversing, triangulation, and setting out works. In ITI Draughtsman Civil, understanding the correct procedure for measuring horizontal angles is essential for accurate fieldwork and plotting.
A horizontal angle is the angle between two lines measured in the horizontal plane. It is usually measured clockwise from one line to another.
A vernier scale is a precision measuring device used to read small subdivisions of a main scale. It is commonly used in instruments like theodolites, vernier calipers, and sextants. In ITI Draughtsman Civil, understanding vernier scale types is essential for accurate measurement of angles and dimensions.
A vernier scale is a secondary scale that slides along the main scale and helps to measure values more precisely by reading fractions of the smallest division of the main scale.
Traverse surveying is a method in which a series of connected lines are measured in terms of their lengths and directions. These lines form a framework used for mapping and layout work. Traverses are broadly classified into open traverse and closed traverse. In ITI Draughtsman Civil, understanding these types and their applications is essential for solving engineering problems.
