Learn more about Tiltmeters

Tiltmeters allow for precise, up-to-the-minute monitoring of structures and can thereby provide an early warning of any shifts or changes, allowing for rapid corrective action to be taken.

Tiltmeters can be installed on any vertical or horizontal surface of a structure. Calibrated in relation to the acceleration of gravity at exactly 90 degrees from the horizontal surface of the earth, Tiltmeters detect even the slightest deviations from true vertical. The data they collect provides a clear schematic of vertical and rotational deformations within the structure over time.

RST Instruments’ offers a variety of Tiltmeters suited to the specific needs of your project. The RSTAR Affinity Tilt Logger provides a permanent monitoring solution for vertical and rotational deformation in above-ground structures such as buildings, retaining walls, and concrete dams. For long-term monitoring of submerged structures such as bridge piles and offshore assets, RST’s Submersible Tiltmeter provides rugged performance at 200 meters rated depth. RST’s Track Monitoring System employs a series of interconnected tiltmeters to monitor the settlement and twist of railroad tracks.

Data from all of RST’s Tiltmeter systems can be collected locally or remotely using a signature RST DT series or RSTAR Affinity Data Logger.
