3、NG, AND TILTING The General Services Administration has authorized the use of this Commercial Item Description (CID) for all federal agencies. The original issue of this CID replaced MIL-L-52918. 1. SCOPE. 1.1 Abstract. This commercial item description covers levels (instruments) used for taking dif
4、ferential elevation measurements, in surveying and other engineering applications. The complete instrument shall consist of an internal focusing telescope capable of 360 degree rotation, image lens system, cross hairs (horizontal and vertical), leveling system, tripod, and accessories. 2. CLASSIFICA
5、TION.

6、tions Class 1 1st order accuracy Class 2 2nd order accuracy METRIC Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-A-A-52036B 23. SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS. 3.1 Accuracy. Accuracy shall be certifiable, for the life of the level, to permit not greater t
7、han 1.54 seconds of error (1storder) for class 1 instruments; and not greater than 3.07 seconds of error (2ndorder) for class 2 instruments. 3.2 Level types. 3.2.1 Tilting level. A tilting instrument (type I) shall require manual leveling prior to use and periodic checking for maintenance of a level
8、 horizontal line of sight during use. The instrument shall be provided with a circular spirit level, or similar device, for initial coarse leveling and a graduated leveling readout device and leveling screws for precise leveling. The type I, style A level shall be equipped with a parallel-plane opti
9、cal micrometer that allows the operator to measure horizontal distances, within instrument limits. The type I, style B level shall not be equipped with an optical micrometer. 3.2.2 Self-leveling. A self-leveling instrument (type II) shall automatically maintain the telescope in a level position, unt
10、il no longer needed, once the instrument has been manually brought to a defined approximation of level. Type II instruments shall have provisions for measuring horizontal distances. The type II, style A instrument shall have provisions for horizontal full circle angle measurement; the style B instru
11、ment shall not. Type II levels shall be equipped with an automatic compensator, with a working range of not less than 15 seconds of arc, that shall maintain a true horizontal level line of sight at all telescope positions. After telescope rotation, the instrument shall return to true level in not gr
12、eater than 5 seconds. 3.3 Optical system. The optical system of either type instrument shall be aberration free, provide a clear, bright, high contrast, and sharp image throughout the focusing range and field of view. The image may be erect or inverted. Optical properties shall be as follows: a. Mag
13、nification: Not less than 30 diameters at an accuracy of 5 percent b. Objective lens effective aperture: Not less than 39 millimeters (mm) c. Minimum focus distance: Not greater than 3.7 meters d. Minimum field of view: Not less than 60 minutes of arc e. Resolution: Not less than 4 seconds of arc f.
14、 Eye relief distance: Not less than 7 mm 3.3.1 Reticle. The reticle shall be a pattern of permanent opaque lines, on a distortion free, optically transparent medium. It shall be adjustable for precise positioning of the cross hairs, in the horizontal and vertical planes, about the central line of si
15、ght axis of the telescope. The reticle shall be positioned in the eyepiece focus and so as to eliminate distortion during collimation. Horizontal and vertical stadia lines shall be a minimum of 5 minutes of arc in length, parallel to the corresponding cross lines, and spaced at standard stadia line
16、intervals of 1 to 100. The width of all reticle lines shall be 3 seconds of arc, + 0.0 seconds, -0.5 seconds. 3.3.2 Stadia constant. When horizontal distance is measured using the stadia method the difference shall not be greater than 0.3 percent when compared to the verified distance. 3.3.3 Optical
17、 micrometer. When provided, the parallel plate optical micrometer shall measure the interval between the horizontal reticle line and the nearest rod graduation directly to 1 mm.

18、dicators. 3.4.1 Coarse level indicator. The coarse leveling indicators shall be clearly visible when the instrument is set up, horizontal, and parallel to the line of sight. The level indicator sensitivity shall be by instrument type as follows: a. Type I 10 2 minutes of arc per 2 mm division. b. Ty
19、pe II 7 to 15 minutes of arc per 2 mm division. 3.4.2 Telescope (precise) level indicator. The type I telescope level indicator shall have a sensitivity of 8 to 10 seconds of arc, per 2 mm movement. Level indicator readings shall be clearly discernible in temperatures of -25 to +120F. 3.5 Mounting.
20、The instrument shall be mounted on a tribrach with a baseplate and leveling screws. Leveling screws shall operate without binding, backlash, or end play in temperatures of -25 to +120F. For interface with existing instruments, the tribrach shall have at its center a means of accepting an instrument
21、mounting screw with .625 (5/8)11 UNC2B thread in accordance with ASME B1.1. When leveled, the instrument shall smoothly and easily rotate through a full horizontal circle without binding or end play. 3.6 Horizontal circle. When provided, the horizontal circle shall have index marks graduated in one-
22、degree intervals, labeled at 10-degree intervals, in a clockwise direction. Angle readings to the nearest 10 minutes shall be visible through a supplied magnifying viewer sufficient to estimate the reading to the nearest minute. The circle shall have a fine adjustment capability for precise position
23、ing of the vertical cross hair in the horizontal circle plane. 3.7 Tripod. The level shall be provided with a wide frame tripod having collapsible legs. A means to secure the legs when collapsed in transport configuration shall be provided. The overall length of the tripod, with legs secured but ful
24、ly extended, shall not be less than 168 cm (66 inches). A head or adapter ring to interface with the tribrach mounting threads shall be supplied.
