4×90°measurement.
Widely used in angle
measurement in auto industry, building industry and drilling machinery,
etc.
Display always reads upright, no matter which way the level is turned.
Simple calibration requires no special fixtures.
Versatile measuring tool, angle finder, protractor and level three in one.
One 3V Cr2032 lithium battery. |

========================
Notes :
1. (from Wikipedia) Inclinometers are used for:
- Determining
latitude using Polaris (in the Northern
Hemisphere) or the two stars of the constellation Crux
(in the Southern Hemisphere).
- Determining
the angle of the Earth's magnetic field with respect to the horizontal
plane.
- Showing
a deviation from the true vertical or horizontal.
- Surveying, to
measure an angle of inclination or elevation.
- Alerting
an equipment operator that it may tip over.
- Measuring
angles of elevation, slope, or incline, e.g. of an embankment.
- Measuring
slight differences in slopes, particularly for geophysics.
Such inclinometers are, for instance, used for monitoring volcanoes, or for measuring the depth and rate
of landslide movement.
- Measuring
movements in walls or the ground in civil engineering projects.
- Determining
the dip of beds or strata, or the slope of
an embankment or cutting; a kind of plumb level.
- Some
automotive safety
systems.
- Indicating
pitch and roll of vehicles, nautical craft, and aircraft. See turn coordinator and slip indicator.
- Monitoring
the boom angle of cranes and material handlers.
- Measuring
the "look angle" of a satellite antenna towards a satellite.
- Adjusting
a solar panel to the optimal angle to
maximize its output.
- Measuring
the slope angle of a tape or chain during distance measurement.
- Measuring
the height of a building, tree, or other feature using a vertical angle
and a distance (determined by taping or pacing), using trigonometry.
- Measuring
the angle of drilling in well logging.
- Measuring
the list of a ship
in still water and the roll in rough water.
- Measuring
steepness of a ski slope.
- Measuring
the orientation of planes and lineations
in rocks, in combination with a compass,
in structural geology.
- Measuring
Range of Motion in the joints of the body
- Measuring
the inclination angle of the pelvis.
Numerous neck and back measurements require the simultaneous use of 2
inclinometers. Measuring the angles of elevation to, and ultimately
computing the altitudes of, many things otherwise inaccessible for direct
measurement.
- Measuring
and fine tuning the angle of line array
speaker hangs. Confirmation of the angle achieved via use of a laser built
into the remote inclinometer.
