Tulip 420
Uniaxial Clinometer
Tulip 4-20mA Uniaxial Clinometers
are compact and accurate
instruments for measuring angular
position where space
is limited. Use them in pressure
housings, well logging tools or on any
machine or structure.
PRECISION, STABILITY AND
DURABILITY
Tulip’s electrolytic tilt sensor has no
mechanical moving parts to break or wear
out, and it’s gravity referenced. You can
install your clinometer anywhere, without
the need for complicated levers or fixtures.
Tulip is current loop powered, so
measurements can be made over long
cable lengths using an economical 2-wire
pair. Vertical and horizontal versions are
both available, and the horizontal version
measures either longitudinal or transverse
rotation (see drawing) to give you maximum
flexibility when designing it into your
system. As an added bonus, Tulip
measures temperature using a built-in
thermistor.
Tulip’s current signal is measured indirectly using a shunt resistor, R.
Ohm’s Law states that V1 – V2 = IR, where I is current in Amperes, R
resistance in Ohms, and V1 and V2 the voltages measured on opposite
sides of the shunt resistor
