MULTIPLE ROD EXTENSOMETER – MPBX
YieldPoint recognizes that in many mining situation fast deployment of an ungrouted borehole extensometer is advantageous. The d-MPBX is a unique 1 to 6-Point Multiple Point Borehole eXtensometer (MPBX) based on a single rod design. The anchors are fitted with stainless steel extension springs that secure the instrument in a 38-50mm borehole. The d-MPBX incorporates digital signal processing to result in dramatically improved accuracy compared to similar priced existing technology.
Description
Design features of the d-MPBX involves a stiff hermetically sealed and potted central core that includes all of the electronics. The anchors are a simple aluminum tube to which are attached extension springs that positively attach the anchor to the borehole wall. The inherently digital nature of the signals eliminates the necessity for expensive analog-to-digital conversion and results in low cost readout unit that reads data directly in real world units (mm and °C). The signals themselves are robust and can be transmitted over 500m of lead-wire. If broken the lead-wire can be twisted and taped together. The sensor output is an ASCII (9600,8,N,1) digital signal which can be read by a low cost readout unit (d-Reader), dataloggers (BluLink and BluLogger), and wirelessly networked (BluGateway) for transmission to cloud based servers. The signals themselves are robust and can be transmitted over 500m of lead-wire. If broken the lead-wire can be twisted and taped together.

IPX IN-PLACE EXTENSOMETER
In stock
The In-Place Extensometer (IPX) offers automated monitoring of standard magnetic extensometer installations. The system is designed for a simple, adaptable installation with a single cable connection at the top of the borehole. Its large measurement range accommodates large levels of settlement or heave, and ease of adjustment means it can be reconfigured for changed site conditions such as embankment filling or cutting.

Drive-in piezometers, also referred to as push-in piezometers, are designed for installing in soft clays, organic or fine grained cohesionless soils typically with a SPT-N value less than 10. They are available with a CPT fitting or 1” BSP thread.
Depending on the depth and type of soil, they can either be pushed directly into the soil from ground level to the required depth or pushed into the base of a CPT test or drilled borehole.

MEMS Tilt Beams are designed for attachment to structures, on either a vertical or horizontal surface, for the measurement of tilt or differential settlement.
They consist of a highly accurate MEMS sensor housed in a fully sealed enclosure which is mounted on a lightweight rigid GRP beam. This can be mounted onto the structure using special anchors. The GRP beam has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion meaning that thermal affects are minimised.
