Recently a new Geotechnical Instrument “Inclinometer of servo-accelerometer” has been developed and introduced. This new Inclinometer is characterized by the high resolution mainly depending on the unique sensing mechanism of closed loop servo accelerometer.
In this report, many laboratory and field calibration or correlation test results for this type inclinometers, which have been carried by author, are presented.
Tests on two inclinometers, the OYO-TTC Mini-Probe, and the SINCO Digitilt show a similar performance under laboratory and field conditions with an accuracy which is acceptable engineering purposes.
Vertical profiles of Horizontal Movements and Horizontal Profiles of Vertical Movements may be measured with this type inclinometer very satisfactory.
