  2. Inclinometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclinometer

    An inclinometer sensor's true or absolute accuracy (which is the combined total error), however, is a combination of initial sets of sensor zero offset and sensitivity, sensor linearity, hysteresis, repeatability, and the temperature drifts of zero and sensitivity—electronic inclinometers accuracy can typically range from ±0.01–2 ...

  3. Plumb bob - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumb_bob

    Plumb bob with scale as an inclinometer Plumb bob with string in masonry work. A plumb bob and line alone can determine only a vertical reference. However, if they are mounted on a suitable scale the instrument may also be used as an inclinometer to measure angles to the vertical.

  5. Tiltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiltmeter

    The 2-axis MEMS driven inclinometers/ tiltmeters can be digitally compensated and precisely calibrated for non-linearity and operating temperature variation, resulting in higher angular accuracy and stability performance over wider angular measurement range and broader operating temperature range.

  6. Astrolabe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrolabe

    Its various functions also make it an elaborate inclinometer and an analog calculation device capable of working out several kinds of problems in astronomy. In its simplest form it is a metal disc with a pattern of wires, cutouts, and perforations that allows a user to calculate astronomical positions precisely.

  7. Topographic Abney level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_Abney_Level

    In 1914 and 1915, the Forestry Quarterly published a series of articles on the use of the Abney level. [6] [7] [8] These tutorial articles remain useful today, but the primary reference for usage is the 1927 Abney Level Handbook.

  8. Triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation

    Measuring the height of a building with an inclinometer. Triangulation today is used for many purposes, including surveying, navigation, metrology, astrometry, binocular vision, model rocketry and, in the military, the gun direction, the trajectory and distribution of fire power of weapons.

  9. Turn and slip indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_and_slip_indicator

    The slip indicator is actually an inclinometer that at rest displays the angle of the aircraft's transverse axis with respect to horizontal, and in motion displays this angle as modified by the acceleration of the aircraft. [1] The most commonly used units are degrees per second (deg/s) or minutes per turn (min/tr). [citation needed]
