CONSTANTS & CONVERSIONS TRAVERSE


Standard Foot = .3048 meters ΣInterior Angles= (n-2) * 180
US Survey Foot = 12/39.37 meters Where n = Number of angles
Chain = 66 feet
Link = 1/100 chain Latitude = HD x COS (Az)
Mile = 5280 feet Departure = HD x SIN(Az)
Acre = 43,560 Sq. ft. Northingb = Northinga+LatitudeaÆb
Square Mile = 640 acres Eastingb = Eastinga + DepartureaÆb
1 degree = 3600 seconds
180 degrees = π radians
1 Section = 1 Sq Mile E.O.C . = ∑ Latitudes 2
+ ∑ Departures 2
Township = 36 Sections
E . O. C. 1
R. E . = =
CORRECTION FOR TEMPERATURE ∑ Dist X
Ct = 0.00000645 × (T- Ts ) × L COMPASS RULE ADJUSTMENT
Correction of Latitude per Foot traversed
Where Ct = Correction applied to Length
T= Temp at time of measurement ∑ Latitude
Corrlat/ft = × −1
Ts = Temperature at Standardization ∑ Traverse Length
L= Length measured
Correction for leg 1
CORRECTION FOR LENGTH CorrLeg 1 = Corrlat/ft × LengthLeg 1
TapeC
Lc = Lm × Note: Departure corrections are the same process
100.00'
Where Lc = Corrected Length INVERSE
Lm = Measured Length
Tapec = Standarized Tape length DIST = Latitude 2 + Departure 2
⎛ Departure ⎞
Azimuth = Tan −1 ⎜ ⎟
TRIGONOMETRIC REDUCTION ⎝ Latitude ⎠
HD = SD × Sin( Z )
AREA
VD = SD × Cos( Z )
Where HD = Horizontal Distance N 1 ( E n − E 2 ) + N 2 ( E1 − E 3 ) + .... N n ( E n −1 − E1 )
VD = Vertical Difference Area =

SD = Slope Distance
Z= Zenith Angle
AVERAGE END AREA

ELEVRod = ELEVInst + HI + VD − HR Volume = ×L
2
Where Where : A1 & A2 are Areas
ELEVRod= Elevation at the point the rod is on L is the distance between areas
ELEVINST= Elevation at the point where the
instrument is on LAW OF SINES
HI = Height of Instrument
HR = Height of rod a b c
= =
SIN ( A) SIN ( B ) SIN (C )
AZIMUTH TO BEARINGS
NE Quadrant Bearing = Azimuth LAW OF COSINES
SE Quadrant Bearing = 180º - Azimuth
SW Quadrant Bearing = Azimuth - 180º
a 2 = b 2 + c 2 − 2bcCos ( A)
NW Quadrant Bearing = 360º - Azimuth
b2 + c2 − a2
Cos ( A) =
2bc
