VW vertical multi-point inclinometers are mounted onVW vertical multi-point inclinometers are mounted onwheel assemblies connected by extension tube.The guide wheels on the sensor keep it centered in thegrooved casing that is installed in a vertical borehole thatpasses throu gh a suspected zone of movement andinclinometer casings.
Advantage of VW sensor is that unmanned automatedoperation is possible using data acquisition system, couldbe installed in single axis with gage length of 1-3 meterwhen displacement direction is expected or in biaxis whendisplacement direction is not expected.
The VW vertical multi-point inclinometers are available inboth uniaxial and biaxial versions.When ground behaves, casing is caused a change in theinclination of the sensors in diameter 0 59rnrn casings.
The VW vertical multi-point inclinometers can be connectedup to 60 sensors. The sensor outputs frequency signalwhich changed by lateral movement in the ground.Inside transducer have a lightning protection to prevent thesensor from electrical shock and a temperature device tocompensate for temperature variations in the sensors.

Features

  • Easy installation and useEasy installation and use

  • Stability and confidence with which it can operated insevere environment

  • Not affected by cable length, so reproducibility andresponsibility is very excellent.

  • Built-in temperature device

  • Selection of anticorrosive and rustproof material

  • Automated measurement is possible

Applications

  • Measurement of ground movements under tunnel construction and excavation.

  • Measurement of movements in the retaining walls andembankments.

  • Measurement of lateral movements in unstable groundsuch as dams, around open excavations, embankmentsand for landslide monitoring

  • Measurement of displacement at pile
