About Fowler 53-422-057-0, Precision Frame Spirit Level
The Fowler Wyler precision frame level is a square block spirit level that has four leveling bases and a main vial for determining horizontal and vertical plane with a sensitivity of 0.0005"/10" (0.05mm/m) or 10 seconds, for precise leveling. The main vial is set in a steel tube for improved stability and accuracy, and can be read from the top and the sides. A small vial atop the frame allows coarse roll measurements. Both vials are made of glass to resist scratching and provide clear readings. Two of the bases have a V-shaped groove that provides reliable seating when leveling round items such as pipes, conduit, and shafts. The level has a cast iron body for durability and insulated handles that help maintain accurate readings by preventing transmission of heat from the operator's hands. It includes a wooden case for storage. Levels are used in the building trades, engineering, surveying, and metalworking, among other applications. 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. The Fred V. Fowler Company manufactures inspection and measurement instruments such as electronic indicators, calipers, bore gages, and digital scales. The company, founded in 1946, is headquartered in Newton, MA.
