  • Page 35 Checking the calibration of your pipe laser is easy. All you need is an engineer’s rule and your pipe laser. 1. Select a level road, packing lot or field whose rise is not more than 4 inches in 100 feet (10 cm/30 m).
  • Page 36 8. Accurately measure the elevation to the center of the beam at point B and record the elevation as B1. 9. Move the pipe laser behind point B and aim the laser beam so that it passes over points A and B. Allow the pipe laser to self-level.
  • Page 37 Grade Check After the first 25 – 50 feet (8 – 15 m) of pipe has been laid, it is recommended that you make a grade check to insure that the setup is correct, and that the system is properly operating. The illustration shows a method for checking grade.
