Applications
- Settlement of the ground surface
- Measurement of in situ stress and stress changes
- Deformation around the mine opening
- Load in support systems
- Displacement across cracks and joints
- Groundwater pressures
A Model 4425 Convergence Meter is used to detect wall deformation in an underground mine.
CloseA Model 4910 Instrumented Rockbolt is used to measure loads in tiebacks used to stabilize the ground in an underground mine.
CloseA Model 4000 Arc Weldable Strain Gauge is used for long-term strain measurement of a steel structure in an underground mine.
CloseA Model 1200 (A-4) Multiple Point Rod Extensometer, with Snap-Ring Anchors, is used to determine fracturing in the roof and/or walls of an underground mine.
CloseA Model 4420 Vibrating Wire (VW) Crackmeter is used to measure movement across a surface crack in an underground mine.
CloseA Model 1610 Tape Extensometer is used to measure small changes in the distance between opposite walls in an underground mine.
CloseThe Model 4425 VW Convergence Meter detects deformation by measuring the contraction (or elongation) between 2 anchor points fixed in the walls of the underground mine.
The Model 4910 Instrumented Rockbolt comprises a vibrating wire strain gauge located inside a short length of standard threaded rockbolt or rebar to measure loads in tiebacks used for stabilization.
The Model 4000 VW Strain Gauge is designed primarily for arc welding to steel structures for long-term strain measurements of steel structures including tunnel linings, excavation bracing, arches, struts, etc.
The Model A-4 Multiple Point Rod Extensometer, with Snap-Ring Anchors, is quickly and easily installed in boreholes in hard or competent rock to measure displacement, deformation and/or subsidence above tunnel and mine openings.
The Model 4420 VW Crackmeter is designed to measure movement across joints (e.g. construction joints in buildings, bridges, pipelines, dams, etc.), tension cracks and joints in rock and concrete.
The Model 1610 Tape Extensometer is designed to measure small changes in the distance between opposite walls or between the roof and floor of excavations, tunnels, or mine openings.
