Yes, Clinometer + bubble level follows the Google Play content guidelines which makes sure that it is safe to use on your Android device.If you want to look at which permissions Clinometer + bubble level requires, you can check them out above.
The clinometer * app is the (hopefully most accurate) slope finder tool for any mobile device. It can be used for simple applications like aligning a frame as well as for more sophisticated fields of applications where an arbitrary slope needs to be measured exactly. It is designed to be as accurate as possible (normally in the range of 0.1 degrees, although this might depend on the device).
If you are not sure if the surface you are using is levelled, you can choose to do a two-way calibration. First, start with the bubble calibration. Put the device flat on a table. Press the Bubble Up button. Then rotate the device by 180.
Now proceed with the other sides, where the clinometer will be shown. Hold the device with the left side up. While holding the device press the button that automatically gets enabled if you hold the device correctly. Then rotate the device so that the left side is facing upwards.
Press the Turn and recalibrate button. Repeat the same procedure for the right side up. You may choose a level surface on the upper side to use as a reference because otherwise the volume buttons will be located between the surface and the device which will prevent an accurate calibration.

According to wikipedia: An inclinometer or clinometer is an instrument for measuring angles of slope (or tilt), elevation or inclination of an object with respect to gravity. It is also known as a tilt meter, tilt indicator, slope alert, slope gauge, gradient meter, gradiometer, level gauge, level meter, declinometer, and pitch & roll indicator.
I have found the bearing widget, which is great but can you use odk to collect angles along the vertical plane. I want to use my phone as a clinometer or spirit level with the intention of being able to calculate the height of a building or tree using trigonometry.
Is this possible?
Hi @Wildscapes! Collecting angles currently isn't possible in Collect, but as long as Android can do it, we can likely add that feature to Collect. Is there an app in the Play Store that you find is a good spirit level?
Your search for a perfect mobile clinometer, protractor app for measuring angles and leveling surfaces ends here. Our clinometer, spirit Level, protractor, bubble Level is extremely precise and intuitive to handle.
Use the clinometer the measure angles along all edges of your phone. You can set a target angle by moving your finger across the display. Additionally you can store up to 5 angles in the angle list and recall them quickly as target angles.
Approaching the target angle or the 90/180/270/270 angle (according to your setting) you can receive different acoustical warning depending on the difference between measured and targeted angle.
Protractor-Multitool also features a stability indicator indicating the rate of change.

Our C0004-A mechanical inclinometer is a 1.25 inch diameter circular bubble level. The housing is made of rugged machined aluminum making these levels extremely tough for all types of environments and weather conditions. With operating temperature ranging from -40C to 80C the C0004-A is the perfect all-season level. The large, clear bubble and concentric ring make it easy to get quick, accurate readings.
Also referred to as a bullseye bubble level, the C Series of Circular Bubble Levels provide accurate measurement of level in an all-weather machined Aluminum housing. Several sizes available to fit most space limits.
These tiltmeter devices are used for indicating angle using a bent tube with either a ball or a bubble. In the ball type, the ball moves to the lowest point of the curve under the effect gravity. In the bubble type, the bent tube is inverted and the bubble will move to the highest point.Also known as a slope indicator, an angle gauge, a clinometer and a gradiometer, these devices are used in applications to warn an operator of the working angle of a machine for safety purposes - and correct operation of the inclinometer is critical.We specialise in the production of the glass vials used in these devices, and our focus on quality means that every device is tested to ensure the ball or bubble moves freely over the operating range. We can also produce custom types to suit OEM requirements or to match an existing specification.
The compass features a folding design; there is a large transparent sighting window in its cover. Due to that, you can read the compass even with the cover closed. A dial plate is placed in a special liquid for a magnetic needle to slow down quickly and show direction. The compass allows for taking a bearing in degrees. There is a built-in bubble level to simplify aligning the compass along the horizontal axis.
Some elements of the dial are painted with fluorescent paint and well discerned in the dark. The compass features a clinometer with a half-dial: it is a small tool for determining the inclination angle. It is indispensable for geodesic work and military affairs. Map scales are used for planning a route on a map: there is a graduated scale and cm scale.
An inclinometer or clinometer is an instrument used for measuring angles of slope, elevation, or depression of an object with respect to gravity's direction. It is also known as a tilt indicator, tilt sensor, tilt meter, slope alert, slope gauge, gradient meter, gradiometer, level gauge, level meter, declinometer, and pitch & roll indicator. Clinometers measure both inclines and declines using three different units of measure: degrees, percentage points, and topos. The astrolabe is an example of an inclinometer that was used for celestial navigation and location of astronomical objects from ancient times to the Renaissance.
A tilt sensor can measure the tilting in often two axes of a reference plane in two axes.In contrast, a full motion would use at least three axes and often additional sensors. One way to measure tilt angle with reference to the earth's ground plane, is to use an accelerometer. Typical applications can be found in the industry and in game controllers. In aircraft, the "ball" in turn coordinators or turn and bank indicators is sometimes referred to as an inclinometer.
Inclinometers include examples such as Well's in-clinometer, the essential parts of which are a flat side, or base, on which it stands, and a hollow disc just half filled with some heavy liquid. The glass face of the disc is surrounded by a graduated scale that marks the angle at which the surface of the liquid stands, with reference to the flat base. The zero line is parallel to the base, and when the liquid stands on that line, the flat side is horizontal; the 90 degree is perpendicular to the base, and when the liquid stands on that line, the flat side is perpendicular or plumb. Intervening angles are marked, and, with the aid of simple conversion tables, the instrument indicates the rate of fall per set distance of horizontal measurement, and set distance of the sloping line.
Al-Biruni, a Persian polymath, once wanted to measure the height of the sun. He lacked the necessary equipment to measure this height. He was forced to create a calibrated arc on the back of a counting board, which he then used as a makeshift quadrant with the help of a plumb line. He determined the location's latitude using the measurements taken with this rudimentary tool. This quadrant was most likely an inclinometer based on the quarter-circle panel.[1]
The Abney level is a handheld surveying instrument developed in the 1870s that includes a sighting tube and inclinometer, arranged so that the surveyor may align the sighting tube (and its crosshair) with the reflection of the bubble in the spirit level of the inclinometer when the line of sight is at the angle set on the inclinometer.
Hand-held clinometers are used for a variety of surveying and measurement tasks. In land surveying and mapping, a clinometer can provide a rapid measurement of the slope of a geographic feature, or used for cave survey. In prospecting for minerals, clinometers are used to measure the strike and dip of geologic formations. In forestry, tree height measurement can be done with a clinometer using standardized methods including triangulation. Major artillery guns may have an associated clinometer used to facilitate aiming of shells over long distances.
Tilt sensors and inclinometers generate an artificial horizon and measure angular tilt with respect to this horizon. They are used in cameras, aircraft flight controls, automobile security systems, and speciality switches and are also used for platform leveling, boom angle indication, and in other applications requiring measurement of tilt.
Important specifications to consider for tilt sensors and inclinometers are the tilt angle range and the number of axes. The axes are usually, but not always, orthogonal. The tilt angle range is the range of desired linear output.
Some inclinometers provide an electronic interface based on CAN (Controller Area Network). In addition, those inclinometers may support the standardized CANopen profile (CiA 410). In this case, these inclinometers are compatible and partly interchangeable.
Traditional spirit levels and pendulum-based electronic leveling instruments are usually constrained by only single-axis and narrow tilt measurement range. However, most precision leveling, angle measurement, alignment and surface flatness profiling tasks essentially involve a two-dimensional surface plane angle rather than two independent orthogonal single-axis objects. Two-axis inclinometers that are built with MEMS tilt sensors provides simultaneous two-dimensional angle readings of a surface plane tangent to earth datum.
