Linear Measurements ECE Surveying Unit 2.2 Syllabus Linear measurements: Methods, Instruments used in chaining; Chain surveying, Ranging, Errors in chaining, Conventional symbols. Introduction The determination of the distance between two points on the surface of the earth is one of the basic operations of surveying. Measurements of horizontal distances or measuring linear measurements is required in chain surveying, traverse surveying and other types of surveying. In surveying the distance between two points means a horizontal distance. As the map is potted on a horizontal plane, the distance are measured in surveying, these are always reduced to the equivalent horizontal distances for mapping purposes. Methods There are three methods of making linear measurements. Direct method Optical methods EDM methods In direct method the distance is actually measured during field work using a chain or a tape. This is most commonly used method for linear measurements. In the optical methods, principles of optics are used. The distance is not actually measured in field but it is computed indirectly. The instruments used for making observations is called tacheometer. Electromagnetic Distance Measuring (E.D.M) instruments have been quite recently. These are practically replacing the measurement of distances using chains or tapes. There is a large variety of such instruments and depending upon the precision required, a particular EDM instrument should be used.
