French translation of klinometer is 
klinometer

Meaning of "klinometer" in English

A klinometer, often referred to as an inclinometer, is an instrument used for measuring angles of slope or tilt, elevation, or depression of an object with respect to gravity. It is commonly used in geological, navigational, and engineering applications to measure angles of inclination, slope, or the flatness of surfaces. These readings help in understanding land formations, constructing buildings, or even navigating ships. Modern klinometers can vary from simple hand-held devices to complex digital tools offering precise measurements.

Meaning of "klinometer" in French

In French, the term "klinometer" also refers to an instrument used to measure the angle of inclination, slope, or tilt with respect to gravity. Known as "inclinomètre" in French, it serves similar purposes as it does in English applications, such as in geology, navigation, and construction. Its functionality remains constant in determining the deviation from the horizontal or vertical plane and is essential in projects requiring precise angular measurements.
