Portable Tiltmeter
The RST Portable MEMS Tiltmeter is a cost effective solution that uses a Digital MEMS sensor capable of measuring tilt in two axial planes perpendicular the surface of the base plate.
Overview
Portable MEMS Tiltmeters require placing the Tiltmeter in a repeatable position on a reference plate attached to the surface being monitored. It is designed for applications where a large number of measuring points are to be observed and monitored manually on projects that are cost sensitive and require infrequent measurements.

Speak with an Expert
I’m very happy with the quality of the instrumentation and technical support from RST, as always. They worked with us from the initial stages of the project to ensure that we were fully prepared and equipped to use the RSTAR network for the first time. They delivered everything within the tight project time frame to ensure that there were no delays on site, and the submersible tilt meters looked like new even after over twelve months of being submerged in Thames water!
