Pendulum arrangement
If it is not possible to have more than one pendulum due to the size of the vessel, it should be located as close to amidships as possible and on the centerline.

Pendulum arrangement
The pendulum should not be too short otherwise it would be difficult to accurately measure the deflection. Even in a small vessel it should not be less than 2 metres in length, but the longer, the better. The intention is to get a reasonable measurement at small angles of heel (not less than 2 and not more than 4. The weight at the end of the pendulum should lie within a damping liquid.

Note that KM is constant for a particular draft and can be obtained from the vessels curves of form.
