Suunto PM-5 360 PC Clinometer

Suunto PM-5 360 PC Clinometer is a precision sighting clinometer and height meter. Specifically for use in various specialist sectors by foresters, surveyors, engineers, cartographers, geologists, miners, and architects. Further, to obtain accurate heights, vertical angles, and slope readings quickly and reliably.

The instrument provides you with a slope of ±90° on the face, as well as ±90° slope and % scales which are in 0.5° graduations, giving 1/4° accuracy. You can view these by the separate optic on the edge of the instrument. Just like the compass, the clinometer’s movement is smooth thanks to sapphire jewel bearings. This capsule is also liquid filled, allowing for quick dampening and readings.

All of these mechanisms are held within a robust alloy casing, making the instrument suitable for field use. In addition, it also comes with a tough, nylon field case for extra protection when not in use. A lanyard comes with the instrument in order to tie to your wrist, preventing accidental drops. Often used by geologists, surveyors, architects, or engineers within the mining, building, surveying, or engineering sectors.

The Suunto PM-5 360 PC Clinometer is not just handy to have. But a must, if your line of work is to obtain accurate readings. Particularly relating to the dip of rock and strata, angles of slope, ditches, or gradients in degrees or percent scales. Or for determining the accurate height of trees. Especially if you work in the forestry or agriculture sector or undertake ecological and botanical studies.
