Portable Tiltmeter
The Portable MEMS Tiltmeter is a cost effective solution that uses a Digital MEMS sensor capable of measuring tilt in two axial planes perpendicular to the surface of the base plate.
Overview
Overview
Portable MEMS Tiltmeters require placing the Tiltmeter in a repeatable position on a reference plate attached to the surface being monitored. It is designed for applications where a large number of measuring points are to be observed and monitored manually on projects that are cost sensitive and require infrequent measurements.
