average side length of about 650 km. In 1996, the repetition measurement of the
A-order network was carried out by the SBSM. After overall adjustment of the
entire network, the geocentric coordinate accuracy is better than 0.1 m, and the
relative accuracy between points is better than 2

10 8 in the vertical direction.
The B-order network was distributed by the SBSM between 1991 and 1995. The
number of points, together with those of the A-order network, adds up to 818. It is a
continuous network with points of higher density in the east, a combination of a
continuous network and a closed loop with points of moderate density in the center,
and a closed loop and traverse lines with points of lower density in the west. Of all
the points of the B-order network, 60 % coincide with China's first- and second-
order benchmarks while the rest are under leveling connection. The repeatability
accuracy between points of the B-order network is better than 4
and better than 7
