Plane Table Set

Product Details:

We are instrumental in designing and fabricating Plane Table Sets, which are used in surveying and measurement activities by engineers and researchers. These tables consist of a smooth table surface mounted on a sturdy base. The table can be precisely leveled because of the connection between the table top, using bubble levels, in a horizontal plane. A tripod like base is designed to support the table over non-plain surfaces of land. The table can be leveled by adjusting the length of the legs, regardless of the roughness of the terrain. Prominent Usages of our range are:

• In use, a plane table is set over a point and brought to precise horizontal level
• A drawing sheet is attached to the surface and an alidade is used to sight objects of interest
• The alidade, in modern examples of the instrument a rule with a telescopic sight, can then be used to construct a line on the drawing that is in the direction of the object of interest
• By using the alidade as a surveying level, information on the topography of the site can be directly recorded
• In the telescope of the alidade, distances to the objects can be measured directly or by the use of 'stadia marks'
