Tubular Bubble Level Vials

Tubular level vials, also known as bubble or spirit levels, are used in
construction and photography to ensure surface alignment
Tubular level vials, also known as bubble vials or spirit levels, are essential
tools used across various industries like construction, photography, and
aviation to determine the horizontality or verticality of a surface. Valued for
their simplicity and precision, they are crucial in applications where accuracy
is paramount, providing essential functionality to ensure surfaces are
perfectly level or plumb across various professional fields and applications.
Basic Structure and Operation

Tube Shape: They are typically in a tube shape, which is where their name
derives. The tube is filled with a liquid, usually a type of alcohol, leaving a
small bubble.
Bubble Movement: When the vial is placed on a surface, the bubble moves within
the liquid. The positioning of this bubble indicates whether the surface is
level.
Graduations: Some tubular vials have graduations or lines to help indicate how
off-level a surface is.
The spirit bubble level vials can be made from various materials like plastic,
glass, or metal, each providing different durability and clarity.
