Dual Tube Type Clinometer – Precision Heel & Trim Measurement for Vessels

Name: Dual Tube Type Clinometer
Availability: InStock

The Dual Tube Type Clinometer is an essential nautical instrument for measuring a vessel’s heel (port/starboard roll) and trim (bow/stern pitch). Its two fluid-damped tubes are mounted at right angles, giving bridge and engineering officers simultaneous, accurate readings of both angles. This information is vital for monitoring stability, managing ballast, and ensuring safe cargo loading.

Built to survive the rigors of the open ocean, this clinometer features a rugged UV-stabilized acrylic body and corrosion-resistant hardware. The large, high-visibility scales with bold markings remain readable even in poor lighting or when the ship is moving. With no electronic components, the instrument is intrinsically reliable, requires minimal maintenance, and maintains factory calibration over years of service.

Ideal for commercial vessels, workboats, fishing fleets, and superyachts, the dual tube clinometer is a trusted tool for crews that take stability seriously. Installation is straightforward with the included stainless steel mounting brackets, and its compact footprint fits easily in wheelhouses and control rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dual tube clinometer used for on ships?

A dual tube clinometer measures a vessel’s heel (port/starboard roll) and trim (bow/stern pitch). It helps officers monitor stability, ballast status, and ensure safe loading conditions.

How do I install the clinometer?

Mount it on a vertical bulkhead using the provided stainless steel brackets. Choose a location with a clear line of sight and easy access. The instrument must be aligned parallel to the ship’s longitudinal axis for accurate readings.

Does this clinometer require any power or calibration?

No. The dual tube design is purely mechanical, using fluid-damped tubes to indicate angles. It is factory calibrated and does not need external power or ongoing maintenance.

Can it be used on any type of vessel?

Yes. It is suitable for commercial ships, fishing boats, workboats, passenger vessels, and yachts. Its rugged build and easy readability make it a versatile choice for most marine applications.
