Borehole Rod Extensometer AIS 1500
The MPBX (multipoint borehole
extensometer) is designed to
monitor changes in the distance
between down hole anchors, each
set at a specified depth in the
borehole, and a measurement
head at the surface. Rods extend
upward from the anchors to the
head, where measurements are
made with a depth micrometer or
displacement transducers.
MPBX heads are sized to
accommodate measurement
ranges up to 100mm.
