Inclinometer Probes

Model 6000

The Model 6000 Inclinometer Probe is used in conjunction with inclinometer casing for the measurement of lateral earth movements which might occur in unstable slopes, land slides, dam and roadway embankments, and landfills. They are also used to measure deflections in the walls of excavations, shafts, tunnels and in caissons, piles and sheet piling. The probe consists of a waterproof stainless steel housing containing two force-balanced servo-accelerometers with an output of five volts at 30° (used in conjunction with the GK-603 Readout Box). A stainless steel carrying case is optional.

Spiral Indicator

Model 6005

Model The model 6005 Spiral Indicator uses a flux-gate magnetometer to measure any spiraling of inclinometer casing. The 6005 is lowered into the casing on the end of standard inclinometer cable connected to the GK-603 inclinometer readout box. The instrument provides a direct reading of the azimuth of the casing grooves at any point along the casing. Not suitable for use in steel casing.

Horizontal Inclinometer Probe

Model 6015

The Model 6015 Horizontal Inclinometer Probe is a modification of the standard Model 6000 probe which allows it to be used in horizontal inclinometer casing. The probe, in effect, measures differential settlement along the length of the casing.

MEMS Inclinometer Probes

Model 6100

The Model 6100 MEMS Inclinometer Probe is used in conjunction with inclinometer casing for the measurement of lateral earth movements which might occur in unstable slopes, land slides, dam and roadway embankments, and landfills. They are also used to measure deflections in the walls of excavations, shafts, tunnels and in caissons, piles and sheet piling. The Model 6100 consists of a waterproof, stainless steel housing, and contains two MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Sensor) transducers, one with its axis in the plane of the spring-loaded wheels; the other at 90° (used in conjunction with the GK-603 Readout Box). A stainless steel carrying case is optional.

MEMS Horizontal Inclinometer Probes

Model 6115

The Model 6115 MEMS Horizontal Inclinometer Probe is designed to make high resolution measurements of settlement or heave in tank foundations, dams, highway embankments, landfills, etc. The system consists of the probe and cable, inclinometer casing, pull cable and the readout unit. The casing is installed in a horizontal trench or borehole passing below or through the fill material. When the casing cannot extend completely through the fill, a return pulley and cable arrangement is required.
