How to use a level tool?
Box beam levels are used by placing them against a surface or object to determine proper alignment for marking or measuring. The vials built into the box beams use air bubbles to help you gauge when any horizontal, vertical, or angled measurements are accurately aligned. You can use beam levels, also known as I-Beam levels, in the same way as they are lighter and often have flanges to retain their shape and structure. When using magnetic levels, you can multitask by sticking your level to ferromagnetic metal objects when measuring them. You can also get highly accurate measuring results with laser levels, which project a laser line to save you time when measuring horizontally, vertically, or at an angle.
How to read a level tool?
To measure horizontal straight lines, observe the vial in the middle of your beam measuring level. Once the air bubble is completely centered within the vial, the line you mark or the object you measure is aligned. The same centering rule applies for the air bubble in the vertical vial for vertical line measurements and the angled vial, if included, for any angled measurements. You can even save time on vial readings with laser levels, which help improve precision. With most laser levels, a solid red line indicates that your measurement is leveled.
