Example-1 Example -2
• A leve1ing circuit began on BM Hydrant
(elevation 85.35 ft) and closed on BM Rock
(elevation 96.17 ft).
• Readings (in feet) given in the order taken are
2.65 (BS) on BM Hydrant, 3.51 (FS) and 7.23 (BS)
on TPl, 5.04 (FS) and 11.41 (BS) on BM 1, 8.58
(FS) and 7.65 (BS) on BM 2, 4.23 (FS) and 7.53
(BS) on TP2, and 4.34 (FS) on BM Rock.
• Prepare, check, and adjust the notes.
Example 2 Example 3
• A differential leveling circuit began on BM Rock
(elevation 543.202 m) and closed on BM
Manhole (elevation 545.551 m).
• Readings (in meters) listed in the order taken are
1.559 (BS) on BM Rock, 0.987 (FS) and 1.105 (BS)
on TPl, 0.842 (FS) and 0.679 (BS) on BM 1, 1.846
(FS) and 0.849 (BS) on BM 2, 1.895 (FS) and
1.436 (BS) on TP2, and 0.704 (FS) on BM
Manhole.
• Prepare, check, and adjust the notes.
