The inclinometer casings can be installed in a borehole, embedded in fill or concrete during construction or fixed to the face of a completed structure. These are self-aligning ABS casings with longitudinal keyways at 90˚ for probe orientation.
Inclinometer access tubes are 3 m in length. The casings and couplings (fixed or telescopic) are joined together with pop-rivets. Mastic tape is used over the joints to make a waterproof joint. Details of access tubing and accessories required are given below:
- Self aligning access tube: ABS tubing, 70 mm o.d. (~ 2.75 in), 58 mm i.d., 3 m length.
- Fixed coupling (70 mm): fixed coupling for 70 mm o.d. access tube; 77 mm o.d. x 160 mm length.
- Telescopic coupling (70 mm): telescopic coupling for 70 mm o.d. access tube; 77 mm o.d. x 300 mm length, displacement up to 150 mm.
- End cap for ABS tubing (70 mm): end cap for 70 mm o.d. access tube to fit at top or bottom.
- Top cap for ABS tubing (70 mm): ABS lockable top cap for 70 mm o.d. access tube.
- Pop rivets for ABS tubing: packets of 100 numbers for fixed coupling.
- Self tapping screws for ABS tubing: screws packets of 100 numbers for telescopic coupling.
- Pop rivet gun: Hand held manually operated.
- Power drill: battery powered drill with two 3.2 mm dia drill bit.
- Mastic tape: 50 mm width x 10 m long mastic tape.
- ABS casing sealing accessories: BOPP tape 50 mm width x 30 m long.
- Protective Housing cover: See ‘Equipment Installation’ page under ‘Services’ for options.
Note: ABS casing with 85 mm o.d. (~ 3.35 in), 77 mm i.d., available on request.
