Tower ruler is a kind of level ruler. Most of the early level rulers were made of wood, which was heavy and limited in length (generally 2m), so it was not convenient to carry when measuring. Later, it was gradually made of aluminum alloy and other light and high-strength materials, and the tower shrinkage form was adopted. It was easy to draw out when in use, and the range of single elevation measurement was greatly improved. The length was generally 5m or 7m, and it could be contracted when carrying. Because its shape was similar to the tower shape, it was often called the tower ruler.
As the tower ruler is made of metal, the height of all the tower rulers can reach 5m, and most of the tower rulers are used outdoors. Therefore, it is necessary to keep away from the wires to prevent electric shock accidents. When measuring the water level of the river tower, pay attention to the prevention of drowning.
How to use the tower ruler:
The tower ruler is mostly of rectangular drawing structure, and the snap spring pops up at each drawing section. When using, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the snap spring is in place, otherwise the measurement error will be caused. In order to facilitate observation and debate, the distance is marked with a red dot above or below the tower ruler number. If there is a red dot on the number, it means the range of 1m section, and two red dots mean the range of 2m section And so on, if the number on the tower ruler is "4", it means 4m.
