EXTENSOMETER GEO-XW100
The GEO-XW100 Rotary Wire Extensometer is designed to monitor the changes in distance between two anchor points up to a maximum of 30 meters apart.
It comprises a rotary potentiometric displacement gauge, an opposing anchor and a stainless steel wire that runs between the displacement gauge and the opposing anchor. With a wire extension kit, the length of the wire can be extended up to a maximum distance of 30 meters.
Description
The displacement gauge is housed within a rugged steel enclosure with a mounting plate for horizontal or vertical mounting.
Two options for installation are available as follows:
- Exposed wire in combination with expansion anchor and eyebolt typically for attaching to rock or concrete.
- Wire running within a protective sleeve where the bottom anchor is mounted in the bottom cap at the end of the protective sleeve. The protective sleeves can either be mounted on posts above ground or buried typically used for slope and/or landslide monitoring.

HPS-3500 (Hanging) and IPS-3000 (Inverted) Pendulums are used to measure the tilt or rotation by measuring the relative internal horizontal displacement of points along a true vertical line. Each has a tensioned, stainless steel wire and the effects of the earth gravitational forces to guarantee a perfectly vertical line between a fixed point and a tensioning mechanism. Typical applications include concrete dams, bridges and high rise buildings.

The GEO-XM settlement system is a magnet extensometer system used typically to monitor settlement and heave in foundations, excavations and embankments.
Data received identifies the depth and position where settlement has occurred as well as the total amount of settlement.
It can also be installed behind retaining structures, such as sheet piles and slurry walls, and above underground openings, such as tunnels and shafts.
