• For measuring the angles of depression, elevation
  as well as slope or tilt of an object on the
  basis of gravity, the instrument called
  inclinometer is used. This instrument is also
  known as tilt meter or clinometer. The units used
  by inclinometer instrument are percent, degrees
  and topo and they do the measurement of positive
  as well as negative slopes or inclinations. The
  inclinometers have the ability to create an
  artificial horizon and with respect to it, the
  angular measurement is done by them. While Strain
  gauges are used for the measurement of strain of
  an object.

• Inclinometers have this special purpose pipe that
  is used while installing them. This pipe is known
  as inclinometer casing. The function of this
  inclinometer casing is as follows
•  
• The orientation of the probe with the help of
  internal grooves is done by it.
•  
• The surrounding ground movement is also managed
  by it
• Access for the inclinometer probe is maintained,
  so that subsurface measurements can be obtained
  easily.
• Hence whenever, you are purchasing an
  Inclinometer Casing, do check for groove shape,
  coupling style and casing diameter.

• Casing Diameter Always choose a casing with
  larger diameter. This ensures longer life span of
  the casing due to the ability of it to
  accommodate deformation to a greater extent. So,
  go for 85mm/3.34 inch casing which is considered
  to be the highest amongst all. This is mostly
  used for long term monitoring, multiple shear
  zones monitoring as well as for landslides. A
  little smaller diameter is 70/2.75 inch casing
  which is used in construction projects. Lastly
  the smallest of all is 48mm/1.9 inch casing which
  is used where there are very small deformations
  that are spread over broad zones. This kind of
  casing cannot be installed in the soil.
