• Environmental instrumentation has a great
  potential and is very helpful in planning future
  environmental strategies. Measurement of soil,
  water and thermal properties and sometimes even
  plants and animals are monitored. This monitoring
  is very useful for health of people as well as
  environment. Inclinometers and sensors are of
  great use while carrying out Environmental
  Instrumentation.

• Inclinometer instrument  Also known as the tilt
  meter or the clinometers, the purpose of an
  inclinometer is to measure the elevation,
  depression, angle of slope of an object. Basic
  trigonometry has to be used for using an
  inclinometer. The observer stands at a point A
  and measures the distance D from that point of
  observation. Then the angle between O and top of
  A say x is measured and for this purpose the
  inclinometer is used. Same procedure is done for
  finding the angle between O and bottom of the
  object B say Y. To find the height of the object
  above the observer the tangent is multiplied with
  D and to find the depth below the observer
  distance D is multiplied with tangent of y. To
  get the total height of the object you just have
  to add the two x and y.

• Inclinometer Sensor  The inclinometer sensors or
  tilt sensors are used for the methodology of
  creating an artificial horizon first and then
  these sensors measure the tilt in lieu with the
  horizon. This technology is widely used in
  various applications like automobile security
  systems, cameras, aircraft flight controls,
  specialty switches, boom angle indication and
  more.

• While buying an inclinometer or an Inclinometer
  Sensor the specifications to be kept in mind
  include the number of axis and the angle of the
  tilt. The sensor technology is also used in video
  games. Civil engineering activities like
  measuring the inclination of the land on which
  the construction has to be done.
