Sliding Micrometer

Sliding Micrometer Sliding Micrometer is a portable, high precision instrument to measure in three dimensions the distribution of the displacement vectors along a vertical measuring line (borehole in soil, rock or concrete). The measuring tube to accommodate the measuring probe, consisting of measuring marks and plastic connecting tubes, is grouted into a borehole and can follow the three-dimensional deformations free of hysteresis. Typical applications Sliding Micrometer can be employed in principle in any application in which the three components of the displacement vector along a vertical measuring line have to be measured. a) Piles and diaphragm walls Measuring the strain distribution and horizontal displacements along a vertical measuring line. b) Concrete dams Investigation of the interaction between the dam and the rock abutments, e.g. as a function of the reservoir level. Measuring the complete distribution of the vertical strains and horizontal displacements. c) Tunnels and shafts Measurement of vertical and horizontal displacements. Investigating settlement mechanisms in urban tunnelling.
