Product Number: WK-23-1190
Precision optical clinometers have a 360 degree operating range reading to either 10 seconds or to 1 second. They are used for accurate measurement or setting of angles, calibration, alignment, machine setting, boresighting, fire control alignment, and inspection.
The level indicator is a precision level vial mounted to a precision graduated circle and an optical micrometer graduated at 10 seconds of arc. The standard level vial housing can be replaced with an auto collimating mirror or special worktable. The clinometers can then be used vertically or horizontally as a precision circular measuring table for horizontal use. An accessory base is required. An optical illumination system is available for illumination of the internal scales.

Precision Inclinometer
What is a Precision Clinometer?
A clinometer, also known as an inclinometer, is an instrument used to measure angles of slope, elevation, or depression relative to gravity. An optical clinometer provides high precision by allowing users to sight through a viewfinder and align with a target object.
Our precision inclinometer is an essential tool for accurate angle measurements in land surveying, forestry, agriculture, and aviation design. Unlike digital models, which may lack the refined accuracy required for critical applications, our optical clinometer for land surveying ensures unmatched precision. When selecting a clinometer for forestry or a clinometer for agriculture purposes, professionals trust optical technology for reliability. Warren Knight remains the only U.S. manufacturer producing optical clinometers, upholding the highest standards in measurement accuracy.
