STADIA INTERVAL FACTOR K


1. Objective(s):
To determine the stadia interval factor k of a surveying instrument.

2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):
At the end of the course, the students shall be able to:
2.1 Determine the stadia interval factor k of any surveying instrument incorporating stadia cross hairs.
2.2 Use the stadia interval factor k in computing for distances.
2.3 Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in
multidisciplinary settings.

3. Discussion (not more than 300 words):
The determination of the stadia interval k of an instrument used in surveying is very important for the
surveyor because of it gives the constant value K of an instrument to be used in determining the
horizontal as well as inclined distances when performing survey works.
4. Resources:
1 set Theodolite 5 ea marking pins
1 ea 50-m measuring tape 1 ea stadia rod
1 ea hammer

5. Procedure:

2

Procedure A : Instrument with interior focusing telescope
1 Set up the instrument on point A then set 4 other stakes on a straight line and
flat ground at 30 meters apart.
2 With the telescope bubble at the center take rod readings on the stadia rod
placed consecutively at B, C, D and E. Record readings taken independently
for the upper stadia hair, the middle cross hair and for the lower stadia hair
from the rod held at each stake.
3 Compute the stadia interval factor F/i for the stadia intercept between the
upper and lower sradia hair for each of the rod readings at stakes B, C, D and
E. The mean of all the computed values of F/i is the stadia interval factor for
the instrument used.
Procedure B : Instrument with exterior focusing telescope
1 Establish a sixth stake ( F + c ) = 0.30 meter distant back of stake A and set up
an exterior focusing telescope instrument at this hub.
2 Repeat steps ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) in Procedure A.
