Horizontal In Place Inclinometers

Codes der Referenzprodukte: S441

MEMS Horizontal IPI gauge consists of a stainless steel assembly and carbon fibre extension rod.

IPI string is composed by a chain of IPI gauges with carbon fiber extension rods and a terminal wheels assembly. A string of horizontal IPIs is usually installed inside inclinometer casing buried within trenches, foundations or horizontal drill hole for automatic monitoring of settlement or heave.

Main features are:

  • Removable and modular system for multiple installation
  • High resolution and accuracy
  • RS485 – Modbus protocol output
  • Automatic monitoring with OMNIAlog datalogger

Horizontal in-place inclinometers are compatible with all Sisgeo’s inclinometer casings: standard, Quick Lock and Quick Joint

Tiltmeters are instruments that measure angles respect to the gravity acceleration vector. To get this result an accelerometer is required. It measures the projection of acceleration gravity on its sensing axis. Sensor can have 1, 2 or even 3 sensing axes.

The MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) implementation of accelerometers it’s pretty young (about 20years) but mature enough to have its strong reliability been proven. MEMS are indeed silicon chips machined to create a mechanical part inside. The required electronic to read out the signal is inside the same chip.

The working principle is a spring-mass system: a mass (rotor) is anchored with springs to a fix frame (stator). When an acceleration occurs, the rotor moves respect to the stator loading or unloading the springs. That’s it: the displacement measurement is proportional to the applied acceleration. Displacement is measured with different technologies inside the chip but in its simplest form is related to a capacitance measure.

Sisgeo uses the state-of-the-art of MEMS accelerometers that implement several methods to compensate temperature variation and reduce the cross-axis error reaching very high accuracy.
