Inclinometers and Tiltmeters
An inclinometer also called a tiltmeter or clinometer is a sensor used in the geo-tech sector to measure displacements in the ground or structures. Inclinometers provide vital information on the movements of slopes and embankments making them ideal for monitoring dam reconstructions.
Overview
In detail
Biaxial clinometer
The Geosystems dual-axis tiltmeter is designed for semi-permanent installation in either a borehole or surface application. Cased in a rugged, waterproof, and compact housing our tiltmeter can be connected easily to a Geosystems’s digital logging and data telemetry system. A Real-time Plug ‘n Play network of sensors can be built in minutes. Long term, low power recording is possible with our digital loggers.
Geostring MEMS inclinometer
Using Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) tilt sensors and a thermistor, Geostring inclinometers provide accurate data for early warning systems prior to slope failure, ground movements from tunneling, and deformation of retaining walls. Calibrated Range ±30 degrees from vertical over a temperature range of -10°C to +40°C. Stainless steel, 32 mm diameter, waterproof to 2 MPa housing.
d-Tilt-SG and d-Tilt-EL MEMS tiltmeters
The d-Tilt-SG is a fully waterproof in-place tilt sensor. Based on analogue devices MEMS accelerometer technology the d-Tilt-SG is designed for moderate to high-resolution applications involving borehole or surface deployment. Based on an electrolytic tilt sensor the d-Tilt-EL is a dual-axis inclinometer designed for semi-permanent installation in either a borehole or surface application. The d-Tilt-EL has a range measuring +/-2 degrees and an onboard digital temperature sensor.
PROFIL digital inclinometer probe
The PROFIL is perfect to monitor subsurface deformation of the ground within landslides, embankments and dams. They are ideal for deep excavations and tunnels too. The PROFIL system comprises of a digital probe, lightweight control cable, Bluetooth reel, cable gate, Profil Reader app, and Profil Manager software.
