The invention relates to a method of testing the stability of vessels, using clinometers. The inventive method is based on: (i) an algorithm developed in order to enable the use of gravity clinometers in vessels, which discriminates the component of the signal due to the angle of heel, despite the rolling of the vessel; and (ii) a methodology consisting in considering the equilibrium states from a dynamic view point, taking account of disturbances in the heel torque, unlike the standard view point which comprises a static consideration of the process. The method is performed with a device comprising an original system for calibration of the clinometer and another system, which can be used to record changes over time in the measurement, to analyse same and to establish reliability indices. The system can also be used to determine the centre of gravity of a vessel using a novel system, independently of the stability testing. |
