Reducing Errors • Check that bubble is centered for EVERY rod reading. • Keep the rod plumb during each reading. • Establish equal BS and FS reading distances. – Equal reading distances will cancel out any error caused by the line of sight not being parallel with the axis of the bubble tube. – This is not always possible due to terrain.

Common Errors • • Faulty rod reading (verify reading) Rod not fully extended (high

Common Errors • • Faulty rod reading (verify reading) Rod not fully extended (high reading) Tripod movement during reading Confusion between recording BS and FS entries in the field book
