LOAD CELL FOR TUNNEL LININGS AND STRUTS
This type of load cell is used to monitor stresses in steel linings, struts, piles and support beams.
It consists of a sensitive pressure pad formed by joining two stiff steel discs at their periphery. The void inside the cell is filled with de-aired fluid. When load is applied to the cell the pressure of the inside liquid changes. The changes in pressure correspond directly to the load applied.
The pressure in the loads cell is measured by a resistance transducer.
Description
Mounting surfaces should be flat and parallel for optimum performance and the use of very stiff bearing plates and load distribution plates is recommended. Electric cable connects the load cells to a suitable remote readout system.

DRIVE-IN PIEZOMETERS WP-3400 & SGP-3500 SERIES
In stock
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.

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.
IMAGING & CAMERA
In stock
The FlatMesh 4G Camera is a best in class solar powered solution for static imagery in remote or industrial areas.
It contains a monochrome digital camera which can take clear, high quality photographs day or night without the use of external illuminators.
The 4G camera connects to a Senceive EdgeHub (with FlatMesh) unit which provides power and connectivity over the cellular network (2G/3G/4G) or existing wired ethernet networks.
