Geotechnical & Structural Engineering
Tilt monitoring is a low cost, high accuracy monitoring method for
geotechnical and structural engineering. Using tiltmeters, geotechnical
engineers can directly monitor tilt deection on structural components,
sag on bridge decks and girders, settlement on building foundations,
landslide slope stability, pitwall failures, and many other modes of structural
movement. Because tiltmeters measure absolute position with respect to
gravity, engineers can directly monitor and evaluate structural movement
and performance over time. Tilts are also easily converted to mm/m
displacement to create linear movement proles. With no internal moving parts to break or wear-out, tiltmeters
maintain excellent repeatability over time, and many Jewell tiltmeters have been in service for over 15 years!
Jewell’s high precision tilt sensors deliver reliable, high accuracy performance for geotechnical monitoring
projects worldwide; contact us today about your engineering project.
Specialized Research
For over 30 years, Jewell tilt sensors have delivered high performance for scientic research
applications. Our 500- Series products deliver unrivaled performance in the elds of
geophysical and geodetic research, with up to 5 nanoradian resolution, while our 700
Series is the instrument of choice for volcanology research. Jewell’s miniature tilt sensor
packages offer similar precision for high-energy physics applications on synchrotrons and
linear accelerator labs, where small size and peak performance are key. When precision and
accuracy are essential, scientists choose Jewell Instruments.
Jewell’s high precision tiltmeters and inclinometers are preferred by volcanologists,
seismologists, geophysicists, high-energy physics researchers, synchrotron laboratories and
radio telescope engineers worldwide.

FEATURING: Electrolytic Tilt Sensors and Accessories
Jewell’s electrolytic tiltmeters and inclinometers are high performance, rugged tilt transducers designed to measure
angle and deection using an absolute gravity reference. Our precision electrolytic sensors respond to changes
in slope as small as 5 nanoradians (0.01 arcsec), delivering exceptional performance for scientists, geotechnical
engineers, measurement and control equipment, and industrial machinery. All Jewell tiltmeter packages also come
with available DC analog , 4-20mA, or digital ASCII output, for peak signal performance.
