Soil Inclinometer - Measuring Lateral Movement In The Ground
Soil inclinometers, also known as clinometers which are used to measure lateral movement, tilt, elevation, and depression in the soil. These instruments are capable of measuring upward slopes as well as downward slopes. Inclinometers find application primarily in functions that involve the measurement of lateral movements, such as testing the performance of embankments on soft clay. Besides this, geographers use a soil inclinometer while mapping or carrying out land surveys. Inclinometers can accurately detect the strike and dip of geologic formations and help to seek out minerals.
