Clinometer. A Handy Tool For Measuring Angles or Elevation.
GSC International CLINOMETER Clinometer Made of a Sturdy PVC Material that will hold up to repeated use. A useful tool for measuring Angles or Elevation. A clinometer is commonly used to measure the angle between the horizontal plane and a slope. It’s useful for determining the height of an object by calculating the angle of elevation or depression from the observer to the top or base of the object. In land surveying, a clinometer helps in measuring the incline or decline of a hill or slope. By measuring the vertical angles, surveyors can map terrain features or determine the gradient of roads and paths. The Clinometer can be used to measure the height of a building or tree, the user measures the angle of elevation to the top, and using basic trigonometry, calculates the height based on the distance from the object and the measured angle. In forestry, clinometers are used to measure tree heights by calculating the angle between the observer's eye and the top of the tree. This helps in
