An inclinometer, AKA clinometer is an instrument for measuring inclination. More particularly, it can refer to:
- An airplane instrument. See turn coordinator.
- An instrument for measuring slight differences in slopes, particularly for geophysics. Such inclinometers are, for instance, used for monitoring volcanoes.
- An inclinometer may also be used in civil engineering projects to measure movements in walls and/or the ground.
- An inclinometer may also be used in some automotive safety systems.
- use widely in geohazard monitoring programme
