  2. Inclinometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclinometer

    An inclinometer or clinometer is an instrument used for measuring angles of slope, elevation, or depression of an object with respect to gravity's direction. It is also known as a tilt indicator , tilt sensor , tilt meter , slope alert , slope gauge , gradient meter , gradiometer , level gauge , level meter , declinometer , and pitch & roll ...

  6. 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.

  7. Spirit level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_level

    A tubular spirit level A bull's eye spirit level mounted in a camera tripod. A spirit level, bubble level, or simply a level, is an instrument designed to indicate whether a surface is horizontal (level) or vertical ().

  8. 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]

  9. 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.
