CST/Berger 32X

The CST/Berger 32X is a 32-power optical automatic level built for contractors, engineers, and surveyors who demand precise vertical and horizontal angle measurements. Equipped with a magnetically dampened, wire-hung compensator, this instrument delivers leveling accuracy of 1/16 inch at 250 ft and 1.0 mm standard deviation for 1 km double-run leveling. The sealed, water-resistant construction with dust-protected leveling screws withstands diverse environmental conditions while maintaining consistent performance across a 400 ft working range.
