MULTIPLE ROD EXTENSOMETER – dExto
YieldPoint’s unique 1 to 6-Point Multiple Rod Extensometer (d-Exto) combines a traditional Multi-Rod design ( robust torsionally straightened stainless steel) and digital signal processing to result in dramatically improved accuracy and reliability compared to similarly priced existing technology. This highly accurate digital instrument comprises up to six (6) Linear Variable Induction Transducers (LVITs) and an on-board digital temperature sensor.
Description
Design features of the d-Exto include a tough fiber glass tube, an internal rubber spacer to ensure that central core which will not be damaged by shear movements of up to 10mm all inside a strong and durable than polyethylene sheath. The hermetically sealed (double potted on request) electronics operate indefinitely when submerged in water.
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 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 BluLoggers), and backhauled using (i) Ethernet/Wifi, (ii) LTE-M cellular or (iii) 900MHz(ISM) d-Mesh for transmission to cloud based storage and visualization (VantagePoint).

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.

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.
MAGNETIC EXTENSOMETER GXM RANGE
In stock
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.
