Arithmetic Checking

Total of Back sight – Total of Fore sight = 10.090 m – 10.080 m

= 0.010 m

Total of Increasing Elevation – Total of Decreasing Elevation = 0.910 m–0.900 m

= 0.010 m

Beginning Elevation – Ending Elevation = 5.433 m – 5.443 m

= -0.010 m
The BS and FS columns are added up and their difference should be equal to the
difference between the beginning and ending elevations. Since they’re equal, the
calculation of the data is assumed right.

Permissible Error
Total distance = 964 steps
Assumed, 2 steps = 1 meter
So, 964 steps = 482 meters / 0.482 km
Permissible Error (mm) = 20 √ (total distance in mm unit)
= 20 √ 0.482
= 13.890 mm

The leveling process will be accepted if the error find by arithmetic checking is
less than the allowable error. Thus, we found that our leveling was acceptable
