Weather: Measurement of Angles

Location/s:

Objectives: To measure the angles through azimuths and bearing angles by determining its
distances using transit and calculating the possible errors in angle measurement

Intended Learning Outcomes: To be familiar with the use of transit in measuring angles and applying
possible corrections in the survey

1 50M Tape
Instruments:

1 Engineer’s Transit (New)

2 Range Poles

Gather all required materials and go in front of the TechnoCore Building. Locate an
arbitrary starting point for your surveying activity and setup your instrument (transit) on
that point. Mark its center as point A. Locate points B and C based on your preference
and mark them securely using the chalk. A dot mark is preferred to accurate pinpoint
your points.
From point A, determine the distance and the angle (azimuth and bearing angle) of point
B using the tape measure and the transit, respectively.
Take note that the Northing orientation of your azimuth and bearing angles should
correspond to the North direction of the transit’s compass. For convenience and
simplicity of the activity, ignore corrections in compass reading
i.e. magnetic declination.
Procedures:

Transfer your instrument at point B and properly setup your instrument by vertically
aligning the center (plumb bob) of your instrument to the dot mark of point B. Determine
the distance and the angle (azimuth and bearing angle) of point C using the tape measure
and the transit, respectively.
Transfer your instrument at point C and properly setup your instrument by vertically
aligning the center (plumb bob) of your instrument to the dot mark of point B. Determine
the distance and the angle (azimuth and bearing angle) of point A using the tape measure
and the transit, respectively.
Repeat the same procedure up to the last station.

After securing all your data correctly, pack up all instruments and return them
properly at the CE Toolroom.
