Kapro - 340 Postrite Post Level - Adjustable Folding Post Level - For Use on Posts and Pipes - Includes Strap and 3 Vials - Magnetic
<div class="aplus"><p>The Kapro 340 post level is a 5.4" x 7.6" spirit level with two level vials and one plumb vial with a sensitivity of 0.001"/inch for simultaneously determining the horizontal and vertical plane of posts, pipes, and beams. The vials are made of injection-molded acrylic to resist breakage. The level folds closed, opens flat, and locks every 15° to accommodate different pipe, post, and beam sizes to 6" in diameter. It has four magnets for attaching to metal surfaces and an elastic band for securing to non-metal surfaces, and is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for impact resistance. Levels are used in the building trades, engineering, surveying, and metalworking, among other applications.</p><p> Levels are instruments that are used to determine the true horizontal or vertical plane of a surface. The most common type of level is the spirit level, or bubble level. Spirit levels have a liquid-filled, bowed tube (also called a vial) with a bubble that moves when slight adjustments are made to the level. When the bubble settles between marked points on the vial, it indicates that a surface is horizontally or vertically straight. Levels can have one or more vials to determine the horizontal plane, the vertical plane, or various points between, such as a 45-degree angle, simultaneously. Some levels include a laser line indicator that projects a horizontal or vertical beam on a surface. Bullseye levels, or surface levels, are circular, flat-bottomed spirit levels that determine whether a surface plane is level. Machinists’ levels are made of metal and have surfaces designed specifically for rugged use in a machine shop or tool room. Levels can range from highly-complex and accurate machines, such as those used in the surveying and construction industry, to precision instruments used in carpentry and other building trades, to simple, pocket-sized devices for do-it-yourself projects.</p><p>Kapro manufactures spirit levels, laser levels, layout tools, and measuring tools. The company, founded in Israel in 1974, meets International Organization of Standardization (ISO) standards 9001, 14001, and SA8000.</p></div>
