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:
“The economic dependence of woman and her apparently indestructible illusion that marriage will release her from loneliness and work and worry are potent factors in immunizing her from common sense in dealing with men at work.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“This declared indifference, but as I must think, covert real zeal for the spread of slavery, I can not but hate. I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world ... and especially because it forces so many really good men amongst ourselves into an open war with the very fundamental principles of civil liberty.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
