The market offers a variety of measuring instruments, which are used during the works. One of the main ones is construction goniometer, which makes it possible to carry out the tilt angle measurements and other parameters for precise work.
Where are the inclinometers?
Used during construction and repair work. They are used by carpenters, joiners and assemblers. With the help of this tool, the user has the opportunity to evenly set the planes and fix them. Most of the items, which are used in industry and everyday life, have an angle 90 degrees. This design contributes to the, what is necessary when carrying out work to have an exact angle. Protractors are often used when creating routes., geometry, in military affairs, etc..
Varieties of goniometers
distinguish 6 types of goniometers, which are applied in various fields, having its own specialization and specific design. Among them are:
- construction - used during the marking, installation and design work. May differ from each other in the method of measurement and dimensions. for example, during work outside the premises, use a total station, and for installation of a small-sized structure - rack and pinion devices;
- locksmith - such a goniometer is used during more accurate work, who need pedantry and precision;
- carpentry - used to measure the angle when working with wood, most often used in furniture factories;
- mountain - this type of goniometer is used while the mine surveyor is working, where angles between objects are measured, which are far from each other at a great distance;
- astronomical - characterized by the maximum level of accuracy, and here the name speaks for itself;
- seaworthy - with their help they determine the latitude in the water area of the ocean or sea.
And this is not all the varieties of goniometers., offered by the domestic market.
Types of goniometers according to the principle of operation
- Digital. In such models, the main computing unit is a semiconductor. Featured with a digital display, where all measurements are displayed. Differs in a high level of accuracy, therefore they are actively used during the construction of a capital structure.
- Laser. Powered by two optical beams, which simultaneously rush to two specific points. Optimal solution for indoor use, and when used outdoors, a drawback is revealed - intense lighting makes the rays hardly noticeable.
- Optic. A distinctive feature is the presence of an optical lens, with which the angle is determined. The most common option is a total station.
- Mechanical. These are simple models and with a scale. In this case, it is necessary to ensure a tight fit of the tool between the two diagnosed angles..
The choice depends on your goals and preferences. Regardless of the option selected, protractors, angle clamps, tool kits, etc., must only be purchased from well-known brands, which will guarantee comfort and high precision when working.
