Purpose
This document presents the study of a one‐dimensional thermal inclinometer based on free convection.
Design/methodology/approach
A micromachined one is used. The sensitivity of the sensor is optimized in a close chamber containing CO2 gas under pressure.
Findings
By using this type of sensor in a close chamber containing CO2 gas under pressure, the sensitivity increase and the response time decrease when the pressure increase. High resolution will be achieved.
Research limitations/implications
High shock reliability.
Practical implications
Measuring μg acceleration.
Originality/value
Low cost production.
