Clinometers * There are various makes & types of clinometers obtainable, but they are all designed on one of the two basic principles: — One involve the use of spirit level & — The Other make use of the plumb-bob (or pendulum) principle & works from the vertical * Clinometers are used for checking angular faces, & relief angles on large cutting tools & milling cutter inserts Scanned with CamScanner Scanned with CamScannerINSTRUMENTS FOR ANGULAR MEASUREMENT 7. Clinometers * Aninclinometer or clinometer is an instrument for measuring angles of slop (or tilt), elevation or depression of an object with respect to gravity. * Itis also known as a tilt meter, tilt indicator, slope alert, slope gauge, gradient meter, gradiometer, level gauge, level meter, declinometer, and pitch & roll indicator. * Clinometers measure both inclines (positive slopes, as seen by an observer looking upwards) and declines (negative slopes, as seen by an observer looking downward).
