The paper describes the use of a commercially available laser gyro (ring laser) for application in the field of technical angular measurements. Accuracy of measurement is judged in comparison with measurement standards of high precision used in conventional angular measuring technique (optical polygon, autocollimator). For optical angles accuracies below 0,5" and for angles in the range of seconds values of 0,2" are reached. A rapid data acquisition in connection with an evaluation adapted to the measuring strategy allows statical and dynamical angular measurements.
