5.4 Error in compass survey (Local 5.4 Error in compass survey (Local attraction & observational error) attraction & observational error)

Local attraction is the influence that prevents magnetic needle pointing to magnetic north pole

Unavoidable substance that affect are Magnetic ore Underground iron pipes High voltage transmission line Electric pole etc.

Influence caused by avoidable magnetic substance doesn’t come under local attraction such as instrument, watch wrist, key etc

5.4 Local attractions5.4 Local attractions

Detection of Local attraction By observing the both bearings of line (F.B. & B.B.) and noting

the difference (1800 in case of W.C.B. & equal magnitude in case of R.B.)

We confirm the local attraction only if the difference is not due to observational errors.

If detected, that has to be eliminated

Two methods of elimination First method Second method

5.4 Local attractions5.4 Local attractions

First method Difference of B.B. & F.B. of each lines of traverse is checked to

not if they differ by correctly or not. The one having correct difference means that bearing

measured in those stations are free from local attraction Correction are accordingly applied to rest of station. If none of the lines have correct difference between F.B. &

B.B., the one with minimum error is balanced and repeat the similar procedure.

Diagram is good friend again to solve the numerical problem.

Pls. go through the numerical examples of your text book.

5.4 Local attractions5.4 Local attractions

Second method Based on the fact that the interior angle measured on the

affected station is right. All the interior angles are measured Check of interior angle – sum of interior angles = (2n-4) right

angle, where n is number of traverse side Errors are distributed and bearing of lines are calculated with

the corrected angles from the lines with unaffected station.

Pls. go through the numerical examples of your text book.
