Bruton Compass – Professional Surveying

Professional Geological Compass for Precise Field Measurements

The Bruton Compass delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability for geological field work, surveying, and educational applications. This professional-grade compass features a durable liquid-filled housing that stabilizes the needle for quick, precise readings even in challenging field conditions. The Bruton Compass incorporates multiple measurement capabilities including azimuth readings, dip and strike measurements, and inclinometer functions essential for geological mapping and structural analysis. With its robust construction, clear markings, and user-friendly design, this compass serves as an indispensable tool for geologists, surveyors, foresters, and outdoor educators requiring dependable directional and angular measurements in remote locations.

Bruton Compass Measurement Capabilities

Experience comprehensive field measurement functionality with multiple integrated systems designed for geological and surveying applications. The Bruton Compass provides accurate azimuth readings through a precision-engineered magnetic needle with liquid damping for rapid stabilization. The built-in clinometer enables precise measurement of slope angles and vertical inclinations, while the clear baseplate with magnifier allows detailed map work and coordinate plotting. The tool’s ability to measure strike and dip directions makes it particularly valuable for structural geology fieldwork and rock formation analysis according to established geological standards.

Bruton Compass Durability Features

Rely on field-worthy construction designed to withstand the demands of professional use in various environmental conditions. The Bruton Compass features a shock-resistant housing that protects the precision mechanisms from impacts and drops common in fieldwork. The liquid-filled capsule ensures the magnetic needle stabilizes quickly and remains readable in windy conditions or during movement. The scratch-resistant sighting mirror maintains clarity for accurate sighting, while the corrosion-resistant components ensure long-term reliability in humid or coastal environments where salt air can degrade lesser instruments.
