SURVEYING
Suitable cases
Area to be surveyed
is comparatively
small.
Ground is fairly
level.
Area is open.
Details to be filled
up are simple and
less.
Non-Suitable
cases
Area to be surveyed
is large.
Ground is quite
uneven.
Area is crowded.
Details to be shown
are too many.
Chain
A chain is a unit of length; it measures
66 feet or 22 yards or 100 links.
There are 10 chains in a furlong, and 80
chains in one statute mile.
An acre is the area of 10 square chains
(that is, an area of one chain by one
furlong).
The chain has been used for several
centuries in Britain and in some other
countries influenced by British practice.
The ends of the chain are provided with
handles for dragging the chain on the

MEASURING TAPE
A tape measure or
measuring tape is a
flexible form of ruler. It
consists of a ribbon of
cloth, plastic, fiber
glass, or metal strip
with linearmeasurement
markings. It is a
common measuring
tool. Its flexibility
allows for a measure of
great length to be

FOLDING:
Bring the two handles together on the
ground by pulling the chain at the center.
Commencing from the center two pairs of
links are taken at a time with the right hand
and placed alternatively in both directions
in the left hand.
When the chain is completely folded the
two brass handles will appear at the top.
Now tie the chain with leather strap.
Methods of Measuring
distance
INDIRECT
MEASUREMENT
It involves methods
such as tachometry,
electromagnetic
distance
measurement, and
trigonometric
leveling.
Tachometry uses a
theodolite fitted
with a stadia
diaphragm or a
DIRECT
MEASUREMENT
Counting of paces:
Passometer
Pedometer
Use of wheel-based
instruments:
Perambulator
Odometer
Speedometer
Selection of Stations
A station selected should be visible from at

Prism Square
It works on the principle as the optical
square.
In this case, a prism with angle between
reflecting surfaces of 45 degrees is used as
shown.
Errors
Incorrect length of chain.
Incorrect ranging.
Loose chain.
Temperature change.
Variation in pull.
Errors in slope measurements.
Incorrect marking.
Personal mistakes.
Cumulative errors.
Compensating errors.
