Abstract

The article of which the verticality is critical, for example a distillation column disposed in a closed envelope, is associated with an indicator of verticality comprising a suspended mass and a locating ring. The envelope, which contains the various inner articles, is placed on a base by means of supports and its inclination with respect to the base is adjusted by controlling the relative position of the mass with respect to the ring. Application for example to cold boxes for the in situ production of gas from air.
