Definition: A Clinometer (or Inclinometer) is an instrument for measuring angles of slope (or tilt), elevation or inclination of an object with respect to gravity. Also known as a tilt meter, tilt indicator, slope meter, slope gauge, gradient meter, gradiometer, level gauge, level meter, pitch & roll indicator.

Rieker manufacturers these clinometers using precision glass tube and ball construction. All our tubes are filled with a special damping fluid that controls the movement of the ball and will operate in temperatures from -50º F to +180º F (-45ºC to +82ºC). The industry leading standards used during production provides the smoothest and most consistent roll of any of this type of clinometer. The housing is made of a rugged 100% Polycarbonate, making these clinometers extremely tough for all types of environments and weather conditions. The large, clear number and degree markings make it easy to get quick, accurate readings -clearly readable from 12 feet away.

Easy to install, these Rieker clinometers were originally designed for precise heel and trim indication on sailboats - one of the most popular in use today. However, a clinometer can be used where ever leveling, balancing and preventing tip-over is needed: such as utility trucks, aerial lift equipment, military and government vehicles.
