Measuring angular deviations of an object submersed in fuel using accelerometers

Measuring angular deviations of an object submersed in fuel using accelerometers

(OP)
Dear all,

I have a project that i am working on where i need to measure the tilt/angle of an object at high pump speeds over 6000rpm. I was wondering if anybody had any experience of using a wireless accelerometer to dynamically measure angle. And also has to be located in fluid medium and so would need to be prevented from getting wet.

Regards

Yes, a strain gauge type accelerometer will measure the local gravity vector for you. Making them wireless and waterproof is just a cost issue.

Cheers
