China Promotes New Measurement Tool to Boost Construction Standards


China will promote the use of a new measuring apparatus throughout its construction industry this year, to reinforce construction standards, an official with the Ministry of Construction said Friday.

The new apparatus, the electronic level meter for construction,is a digital angle measurement tool using the technology of a dip angle sensor.

Yang Luyu, the official in charge of construction industry standards under the Ministry of Construction, said the new apparatus represented "an historical and revolutionary breakthrough" in the country's construction measurement technology.

China's construction workers have always used bubble inclinometers or frame levels for measurements in the past.

Yang said such traditional measurement tools could not provide precise results and thus affected the quality of construction.

The Ministry of Construction last year published its national standards for the construction industry based on the use of the new measuring apparatus. Yang said the Ministry had decided to promote the new standards as one of its priorities this year.

"Construction quality concerns the safety of state property andpeople's lives and to promote the new technology and standards will help improve and guarantee construction quality," Yang said.

The electronic level meter was developed by the Huaxingyu Sensing Technology Co. Ltd, a private company based in central China's Hunan Province. According to the company, the performance of the new measuring apparatus is on a parallel with products madein the United States, Japan and Switzerland.

The electronic level meter can also be used in shipbuilding andthe mechanical industry.
