ANGULAR
MEASUREMENT

Clinometers
Auto-collimator

CLIMOMETER

An instrument used for

measuring angle relative to the horizontal
plane

A special application of
sprit level

Types of clinometer:
a) Vernier clinometer
b)Micrometer clinometer
c) Dial clinometer
d)Optical clinometer

Vernier clinometer
Consists of a
sprit level
mounted on a
rotary member
carried in a
housing
A circular scale
is used to
measure the
angular reflection
of inclination of
rotary member
The angle of
rotation is then
noted on the
circular scale

Micrometer
clinometer
One end of
sprite level is
attached at end
of a micrometer
The other end
hinged on the
base
commonly
used Higher &
Walt type

AUTO-CLINOMATOR
An optical
instrument
Used for
measurement
of small angular
difference
Provides a
very sensitive
and accurate
approach

WORKING PRINCIPAL
An infinity telescope & a clinometer combined into
one instrument
A light source placed in the focus of lens
X= 2f, where f= the focal length of the lens =
angle of clination of reflecting mirror

CONSTRUCTION
Consists of three
parts- micrometer,
lighting unit &
collimating lens
Have the reticule
situated one side of
the instrument on an
axis at right angles to
the main axis
45 degree beam
splitter
microscope
Micrometer

Application
Checking of an internal
right-angle
Comparative
measurement using
master angles
Measuring straightness
& flatness of the surfaces
Measuring small linear
dimensions
Assessment of
squareness & parallelism
of components
For precise angular
indexing in conjunction
with polygons
