EXTENSOMETER® : Multipoint extensometer sensor for drilling
The extensometer is designed to measure the distance variations between anchors placed at a defined depth and a measuring head located on the surface.
A sensor for measuring settlements and heave
Rods connect each anchor to the head, where measurements are taken with a depth gauge or displacement sensors.
The extensometer head is adapted according to the measurement range, up to 100 mm (3.9") or 200 mm (7.9"), the number of anchors (points) to be measured, and the type of rod used.
The extensometer rods are available in fiberglass or stainless steel.
Each type is inserted in a nylon sheath that prevents friction between the soil/cement and the rod.
Measurements can be made manually with a depth gauge or remotely with vibrating
wire or 4-20mA displacement transducers, connected to a recorder or a portable
reading station.
