Hi Marcus
Good to hear from you. I like your idea of using blocks as an aid for blind auditors very much. Great idea!

Hi Alan
the Bosch digital level has a button to lock the readig so you can bring it up to a more convenient height to read. It also beeps when it achieves level as in zero degres. We used that feature with a series of blocks that when placed under then end took the level on slope to specified gradients, 1 in 12, 1 in 15 and 1 in 20 and then beeped, so that a blind access auditor could use the equipment.

Hi Vin
I have stuck with my old fashioned 'analogue' grad level which has the gradient as % and as a ratio. It is only 600mm long but if used with a longer straight edge when required it works fine. I notice with the digital ones that it can be difficult to read the result because the display is on the side of the level ie at ground level if the level is used on a footway or ramp. I also have an iphone app which gives a % readout and I have made a laminated credit card sized conversion chart which I keep in my wallet. The iphone app works quite well and is convenient and you can lock the readout so you can pick the device up to read it. A good trick though is to measure the gradient of the handrail or kerb upstand which will give an idea of the gradient without having to stoop down.
Cheers

Hi Vin
I have used a Bosch DNM 60L - DIG. LEVEL, INCLINOMETER, 0.6M for about 10 years
http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/displayProduct.jsp?sku=1869032&CMP=KNC-GUK-FUK-GEN-LISTINGS&gross_price=true&mckv=YKMwxwd8|pcrid|14164337469|plid|&gclid=CLHExfn36rkCFcTKtAodMnQABA
you can also get an App for Iphones that makes them into an inclonometer, although whether you woudl want to place your Iphone on the flloor is another thing, and the longer the level the more it will not be affected by variations in the ground surface.
what you do need is a conversion chart as they all tend to measure in degrees or percentages. I will pop you one in the post. I stuck mine to one side of my level so i can record what gradient in terms of 1 in 20 etc.
regards
Marcus

excellent - many thanks Brian
I have found a Bosch 48 inch that looks perfect for my needs but I'll shop around over the next few days now I have a clearer idea of what I'm looking for

Hi Vin,
I used York Survey Supply for a Stabila Type 86 Electronic - has been working overtime for more than 10 years! The cost was about £115.
Hope this helps?
Best wishes,
Brian

Hi folks,
could anyone recommend an inclinometer for measuring the gradient of footways please?
thanks,
