The different types of vials<br />
Horizontal vial<br />
Horizontal measurements<br />
The aluminium spirit level profile<br />
Smooth rectangular<br />
profile<br />
Classic design for all<br />
applications up to the<br />
moderately difficult.<br />
Vertical vial<br />
Vertical measurements<br />
Rectangular profile with<br />
ribs to strengthen the<br />
profile and for improved<br />
handling.<br />
Angle vial<br />
Measurement of a<br />
range of slopes<br />
Cast T profile<br />
A very rigid cast<br />
aluminium profile with<br />
one measuring surface.<br />
45° angle vial<br />
Fixed slope measurement<br />
Extra-strong cast double<br />
T profile<br />
An ultra-strong double T<br />
profile made from cast<br />
aluminium with gripping<br />
holes and two measuring<br />
surfaces.<br />
Six ring vial<br />
Rapid slope measurement<br />
The profile constitutes an<br />
extension of the vial and<br />
must therefore be made of a<br />
lasting and stable material.<br />
This material combines great<br />
practicality, low weight and<br />
optimum handling.<br />
Coated measuring surface<br />
Milled measuring surface<br />
Measuring surface with bridging<br />
plates – for bridging uneven<br />
areas of wood or masonry.<br />
Milled measuring surface with<br />
super-powerful rare earth magnet<br />
system – the optimum system for<br />
steel construction work.<br />
Milled measuring surface with<br />
a V-shaped groove – for extra<br />
secure adhesion to pipes and<br />
other steel items.<br />
The measuring surfaces<br />
The measuring surfaces on<br />
spirit levels can be designed in<br />
various ways. In most cases, the<br />
complete body of the spirit level,<br />
including the measuring surface,<br />
is powder-coated, painted or<br />
anodised, but on some spirit<br />
levels the measuring surface is<br />
also milled flat after the coating<br />
process.<br />
In every case, it is important<br />
that the surface be completely<br />
smooth. For this reason, not<br />
every side of a spirit level can<br />
be used as a measuring surface.<br />

The end caps<br />
Permanent impact-resistant<br />
plastic end caps are used to<br />
protect the measuring<br />
surfaces.<br />
The upright height of the<br />
level’s hollow profile must be<br />
appropriately dimensioned to<br />
provide good shock-absorption.<br />
STABI<strong>LA</strong> also provides end<br />
caps with practical additional<br />
functions.<br />
1 Standard end caps: Impact<br />
and shock-resistant.<br />
2 End caps with patented<br />
anti-slip stopper: Holds firm<br />
even when laid with just one<br />
hand. Convenient for marking<br />
out. Greater security.<br />
3 Removable end caps: Mark<br />
right into corners – lay on<br />
narrow edges.<br />
4 Shock-absorbing end caps:<br />
Two-component material mix<br />
ensures effective energy<br />
absorption upon impact.<br />
