Leveling loop closure calculator

Calculate height misclosure and adjusted height differences with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use height misclosure and adjusted height differences to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Observed height differences (m)
0.1,0.2,-0.25
Run lengths (m)
100,200,100
Known endpoint minus start elevation (m)
0
Height misclosure (m)
0.05
Adjusted height differences (m)
[0.0875,0.175,-0.2625]
Corrections (m)
[-0.0125,-0.025,-0.0125]

Try another scenario

Observed height differences (m)
1.1,0.2,-0.25
Run lengths (m)
100,200,100
Known endpoint minus start elevation (m)
0
Height misclosure (m)
1.05
Adjusted height differences (m)
[0.8375,-0.325,-0.5125]
Corrections (m)
[-0.2625,-0.525,-0.2625]
Calculation method

Calculation method

Height misclosure (m)

Correction_i=-(sum observed-known change) length_i/totalLength.

Adjusted height differences (m)

Correction_i=-(sum observed-known change) length_i/totalLength.

Corrections (m)

Correction_i=-(sum observed-known change) length_i/totalLength.

Symbols and units
a
Observed height differences (m)
b
Run lengths (m)
c
Known endpoint minus start elevation (m)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Calculation uses the entered values and stated mathematical model; quantities must use the labelled units. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. Correction_i=-(sum observed-known change) length_i/totalLength.
Are these inputs private?

These calculations run in your browser. A shared link contains the values you choose to share. Only questions submitted to the separate AI finder are sent to OpenAI.
