A method using piezoelectric effect is provided for measuring an angle between a reference plane and a plane to be measured. The method can be used to measure the inclination of a plane or for leveling purpose. The method employs an apparatus wherein the main characteristics of the apparatus are simple in structure with no limitation in the measurement range and fewer limitations to the environment. The method may also have the following advantages compact, quick and accurate measurement, easy for multiaxial measurement.
