Abstract

To provide an inclination measuring device which can measure inclination to a vertical direction of a central axis of a column body forming a tapered shape and has a simple configuration.SOLUTION: An inclination measuring device 1 includes: a measuring section which measures inclination; a measuring device communication section which transmits / receives data between the measuring device communication section and a terminal 2; and a measuring device control section. The measuring device control section has measurement means for causing the measuring section to repeatedly measure inclination with a set zero point as a reference and obtaining measurement data each time, measurement data transmission means for causing the measuring device communication section to transmit measurement data to the terminal 2 each time when measurement data is obtained, correction data reception means for causing the measuring device communication section to receive correction data of the zero point transmitted from the terminal 2 according to an input from an input section of the terminal 2, and correction means for correcting the zero point by the correction data. The correction data makes a state that the measuring section is inclined at the same angle as a gradient angle of a side face of a column body P as the zero point. The correction data corresponding to a plurality of taper ratio of the column body P is preliminarily set and the correction data is selected among the correction data.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
