  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. Crescograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescograph

    A crescograph is a device for measuring growth in plants. It was invented in the early 20th century by Jagadish Chandra Bose. The Bose crescograph uses a series of clockwork gears and a smoked glass plate to record the movement of the tip of a plant (or its roots). It was able to record at magnifications of up to 10,000 times through the use of ...

  4. Level (optical instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_(optical_instrument)

    The complete unit is normally mounted on a tripod, and the telescope can freely rotate 360° in a horizontal plane.The surveyor adjusts the instrument's level by coarse adjustment of the tripod legs and fine adjustment using three precision levelling screws on the instrument to make the rotational plane horizontal.

  5. 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]

  6. 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.

  7. Liquid capacitive inclinometers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Liquid_capacitive_inclinometers

    Liquid capacitive inclinometers are inclinometers (or clinometers) whose sensing elements are made with a liquid-filled differential capacitor; they sense the local direction of acceleration due to gravity (or movement). [1] A capacitive inclinometer has a disc-like cavity that is partly filled with a dielectric liquid.

    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.
