Factors Which Influence The Use of Inclinometers
(Overall accuracy varies depending on the type of tilt sensor (or inclinometer) and technology used)
- Gravity
- Temperature (drift), zero offset, linearity, vibration, shock, cross-axis sensitivity, acceleration/deceleration
- A clear line of sight between the user and the measured point is needed.
- A well defined object is required to obtain the maximum precision.
- The angle measurement precision and accuracy is limited to slightly better than one degree of arc.
- The calibration of tilt sensors in the factory may differ on the actual site.

Famous quotes containing the words factors and/or influence:
“Language makes it possible for a child to incorporate his parents’ verbal prohibitions, to make them part of himself....We don’t speak of a conscience yet in the child who is just acquiring language, but we can see very clearly how language plays an indispensable role in the formation of conscience. In fact, the moral achievement of man, the whole complex of factors that go into the organization of conscience is very largely based upon language.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“A bestial and violent man will go so far as to kill because he is under the influence of drink, exasperated, or driven by rage and alcohol. He is paltry. He does not know the pleasure of killing, the charity of bestowing death like a caress, of linking it with the play of the noble wild beasts: every cat, every tiger, embraces its prey and licks it even while it destroys it.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
