VW TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The VWTS 6000 vibrating wire temperature sensor is used primarily for the measurement of internal temperature in concrete structures, soil, rock or water.
The sensor operates on the principle that when plucked, a tensioned wire vibrates at its resonant frequency. The square of this frequency is proportional to the strain in the wire.
Around the wire is a magnetic coil which when pulsed by a vibrating wire readout or data logger interface plucks the wire and measures the resultant resonant frequency of vibration.
Description
The sensor consists of a tensioned wire clamped inside a stainless steel cylinder. Changes in temperature cause the stainless steel body to expand and contract at a different rate to that of the vibrating wire thus altering the resonant frequency.
The thermal response of the VWTS 6000 is relatively slow and is therefore not suitable for measuring rapidly changing temperatures.
The VWTS 6000 vibrating wire temperature sensor is fitted with an internal gas-discharge tube for lightning protection.

BOREHOLE ROD EXTENSOMETER
In stock
The Geosense® GEO-XB2 borehole rod type extensometer range is used to measure and locate settlement, displacement and deformation in soil and rock.
It consists of a reference head and one or more in-hole anchors each of which is placed at a known depth and connected to the reference head by either a rigid or flexible rod running inside a flexible sleeve, which keeps the rod de-bonded from the grout.
NANO TRIAXIAL TILT SENSOR
In stock
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

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.
