The invention relates to the engineering detection technology field and discloses a special level tester used for engineering measurement. The tester comprises a pedestal. A thread groove is arrangedin the internal portion of one side of the pedestal. One side of the pedestal is connected to one side of a threaded rod through the thread groove in a threaded connection mode. The other end of the threaded rod is connected to the internal portion of a base plate in the threaded connection mode. One side of the pedestal is fixedly connected to one side of a shaft sleeve. By using the special level tester used for engineering measurement, through setting a measuring water tank at the top of the device, and a structure used for observing a measured bubble moving distance at the top of a calibrated scale, the degree of inclination of the ground can be determined. Through comparing the positions of the measured bubble and a pointing needle, the function of direct zero calibration can be realized, and problems that a general level tester needs to carry out zero calibration through twice or more measurements before use, which is very tedious; the tester needs to be taken in the middle process to carry out position alignment; and an error is large are avoided. The simplicity and convenience of the device are increased.
