IPI-X IN PLACE INC – EXT
The IPI-X is designed to be installed in inclinometer casing to automatically measure settlement or heave, together with tilt for full 3D borehole profiling.
Description
The IPI-X is an Automatic Magnetic Extensometer combined with an In-Place Inclinometer which can be used typically to measure vertical and horizontal displacement in embankments, dam foundations, deep foundations and around tunnels and diaphragm walls.
It comprises an In-place Inclinometer with the addition of a low power digital Magnetic Positional Sensor inside the adjoining extension rod. The system is placed vertically within inclinometer casing in a borehole.
Magnetic targets are positioned at various locations along the length of the inclinometer casing corresponding to the location of the Magnetic Positional Sensors. Vertical displacement is measured by the relative position of the magnetic targets from their original position.
Horizontal displacement is measured through tilt by the In-Place Inclinometer to provide a 3D profile of the borehole. All the digital sensors are BUSSED together allowing fast and reliable communication.
Any combination of extension rod lengths (1, 1.5, 2 & 2.5m) and IPIs (0.5m) can be used so that sensors can be located at the required depths.
To provide an absolute reference for vertical displacement, the bottom magnetic target should be installed into stable ground together with a geodetic survey of the top of the installation.

The Nano range uses the same core platform as our other tilt sensors, so it can deliver a similar level of performance and reliability, all in a small and robust enclosure. Nanos have been successfully used in many applications, including:
- Tunnel distortion
- Tunnel heave/settlement
- Embankment slippage (used in conjunction with stake mounts)
- Structural movement
- Rail track heave/settlement
- Rail trackbed cant and twist

TILT BEAM MEMS
In stock
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.
