Tilt Sensor - Factors Which Influence The Use of Inclinometers

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:

    “I always knew I wanted to be somebody. I think that’s where it begins. People decide, “I want to be somebody. I want to make a contribution. I want to leave my mark here.” Then different factors contribute to how you will do that.”
    —Faith Ringgold (b. 1934)

    “No power on earth or above the bottomless pit has such influence to terrorize and make cowards of men as the liquor power. Satan could not have fallen on a more potent instrument with which to thrall the world. Alcohol is king!”
    —Eliza “Mother” Stewart (1816–c. 1908)
