3-4. Slope Measurements. The slope of a tape length in a baseline measurement should not exceed a10-percent grade. Where this limit is approached or exceeded, use special care in determining thedifference in the elevation of the tape ends or st<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> performing horizontal taping. Measure thedifferences in elevation between the fiducial marks of the tapes using spirit levels. Obtain rod readingsat all tape end supports <strong>and</strong> broken-grade intermediate supports. Read both the front (meter) <strong>and</strong> back(foot) sides of the rod at each point. If the available rods are graduated in only one unit, the spirit levelsshould run forward <strong>and</strong> backward over the line. Make a comparison of the observed differences ofelevation for each tape length. Be careful when adjusting the level <strong>and</strong> when balancing the backsights<strong>and</strong> foresights for the observations. A maximum discrepancy between differences of elevation of ±3millimeters should produce the desired 1/500,000 accuracy in the determination of the slope correctionfor slopes up to 10 percent.3-5. Wind Effect. The error caused by the wind blowing the tape horizontally, such as errors inalignment, inclination, <strong>and</strong> friction of the tape on the supports, tends to make the measured length toolong. No first-order or second-order, Class I baseline measurements should be made when the wind isstrong enough to bend the tape more than 2 centimeters out of line. The wind would introduce an errorof 1 part in 500,000.3-6. Instruments <strong>and</strong> Appliances. It is possible to make satisfactory baseline measurements oversomewhat rough <strong>and</strong> uneven ground if provisions are made to properly support <strong>and</strong> stretch the tape.a. The following instruments <strong>and</strong> appliances are useful in running the baseline: Two marking scribes. Two pairs of dividers. One level, with rod. Two plumb bobs. Two range poles. Two 1/10-meter scales, boxwood, with a reading in millimeters. One stretch apparatus for tape, complete <strong>and</strong> consisting of two staves with loops <strong>and</strong> tapeattaching the clip, two balances, <strong>and</strong> an apparatus for testing the balances. Copper strips for stake tops, of the same thickness as tape, 20 per kilometer. One 30-meter steel tape (st<strong>and</strong>ardized or tested in the field) for measuring setups <strong>and</strong>setbacks. One 50-meter steel or Invar tape (unst<strong>and</strong>ardized) for marking out the baseline.EN0593 3-4
