As the precise sensor system for monitoring the relative altitude changes among multiple points, the capacity hydrostatic leveling system (HLS) is widely used in particle accelerators. To expand its application in providing the elevation constraint for the control network adjustment, the research on the issue of the HLS for altitude difference measurement between multiple points is carried out. Based on the working principle of the HLS sensor, a comparison system composed of dual-frequency laser interferometer, high-precision Z stage, HLS sensors and others is designed and manufactured. The system is used to control multiple sensors to observe the same liquid level in the same coordinate system. The zero-position difference among sensors can be obtained by comparison. Then the altitude difference measurement can be realized, and it is verified that the measurement accuracy is better than 5 μm. In addition, a simulation experiment for 3D control network measurement is run, in which the HLS system provides the elevation constraint for the adjustment processing. The results show that for the 100m linear tunnel, the errors accumulation in the elevation direction is significantly improved compared to the classics adjustment.
