About Plumb Bobs
A Plumb Bob is a simple tool used to determine the verticality of a line. It consists of a pointed, weighted metal tip that hangs from a string and swings freely. Plumb bobs are used in construction, carpentry, surveying and engineering applications.
Types of Plumb Bobs
Plumb bobs come in various shapes and sizes depending on the application. Some are made from lead or brass while others are made from steel or plastic. The plumb bob string can also be made from different materials such as cotton, nylon or polyester.
How Plumb Bobs are Made
Plumb bobs are typically constructed by casting the metal tip into a mold and then attaching it to a length of string. The string can be secured with knots or tied onto an eyelet at the top of the bob for extra stability.
Industries that use Plumb Bobs
Plumbers, builders, surveyors, engineers and carpenters all use plumb bobs in their work. They may use them to check walls for verticality when installing plumbing fixtures or building structures, or to measure distances when laying out plans for construction projects.
