αλφαδιά → (horizontal or vertical) level line
Από:
http://alpha6.gr/wp/?cat=133
αλφαδιά: οριζόντια γραμμή ή επίπεδο σε σχέση με κάποιο ύψος αναφοράς. Π.χ. τα ξύλινα δάπεδα μέσα σε ένα χώρο, πρέπει να είναι αλφαδιά, διαφορετικά το δάπεδο θα έχει κλίση.
Πως αποδίδεται αυτός ο όρος στα ελληνικά;

The translation would be level line and depending on the tool used it could be a
spirit level (or bubble level)
or a
laser line level
.
# evel: indicator that establishes the horizontal when a bubble is centered in a tube of liquid
http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spirit_Level_(poetry_book)
# An engineer's spirit level is generally used to level machines, although they may be used to level large workpieces on machines such as planers. Spirit levels are also used in building construction, by carpenters and masons.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_level_(Engineers
)
# A tool employing a chamber with a colored liquid (usually alcohol, hence spirit) and an air bubble, used to determine a horizontal or vertical reference line
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/spirit_level
# tool that establishes how level or plumb a surface is by means of an air bubble suspended in liquid

For vertical ones though we use plumb line. Wikipedia's entry about plumb line (plumb-bob) is quite interesting. You can find it
here
or by clicking the very first definition URL.
# a cord from which a metal weight is suspended pointing directly to the earth's center of gravity; used to determine the vertical from a given point
wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
# A plumb-bob or a plummet is a weight, usually with a pointed tip on the bottom, that is suspended from a string and used as a vertical reference ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumb_line
# A cord with a weight attached, used to produce a vertical line; Any vertical reference line
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/plumb_line
# To extend a line forms the top to the bottom of a structure.
http://www.gravestonepreservation.info/glossary.asp
# A vertical guide created by hanging a weighted string from the ceiling.
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/home-improvement-glossary.navId-323558,pageCd-P.html
# The direction of the lines of force of earth's gravity field. In field surveying, it is defined by the direction of a freely suspended plumb-bob.

# is a line (as of cord) that has at one end a weight (as a plumb bob) and is used especially to determine verticality.

# The cord or line that supports a plumb bob.

The article about the spirit level from Wikipedia has almost all the types of level I knew (and more, to be honest). :) Interesting read.
