Abstract
This article presents the development of an inclinometer device based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer considering the effects caused by temperature variations. It was demonstrated the operation of a LPG-taper system for angle measurements. The practical results satisfactorily show reliable inclination measures, even with the cross sensibility effect caused by variable temperature.
