Inclinometer Casing

Brand : Slope Indicator (Sinco) USA

Inclinometer Casing
Inclinometer casing is a special purpose, grooved pipe used in inclinometer installations. It is typically installed in boreholes, but can also be embedded in fills, cast into concrete, or attached to structures.
Inclinometer casing provides access for the inclinometer probe, allowing it to obtain subsurface measurements.
Grooves inside the casing control the orientation of the probe and provide a surface from which repeatable tilt
measurements can be obtained.

Choosing Inclinometer Casing

Although Slope Indicator casing is competitively priced, price should never be the deciding factor in choosing inclinometer casing. The cost of casing is quite small relative to the cost of mobilizing a drill rig, and very small relative to the cost of a failed installation.
This page summarizes the most important factors to consider when choosing casing.

Casing Diameter
The useful life of the casing ends when ground movement pinches or shears the casing, preventing the probe from passing through. Larger diameter casing generally provides longer life.

85mm (3.34″) Casing is suitable for landslides and long term monitoring. It is also appropriate for monitoring multiple shear zones or very narrow shear zones, and it is required for the horizontal Digitilt inclinometer probe.

70mm (2.75″) Casing is suitable for construction projects. It can also be used for slope stability monitoring when only a moderate degree of deformation is anticipated.

48mm (1.9″) Casing is suitable for applications where small deformations are distributed over broad zones. It is generally not installed in soils.

Tipe Of Casings :

QC CASING
QC (Quick Connect) casing features snaptogether convenience and strong, flush joints.
Grooves: Grooves are machine broached for excellent control of width, chamfer, depth, straightness, and spiral.
Sealing: O-ring seals prevent entry of grout.
Coupling: Built-in couplings snap together to make a flush joint. Unique locking mechanism engages full inner circumference of casing, providing much stronger joints than other snap-type casings.
Assembly: Press casing sections together until joint snaps closed. The resulting joint is strong, flush, and grout-proof. Solvent cement, rivets, or tape are not required. O-ring lubricant is applied at factory. Extra O-rings and lubricant are supplied with each box of casing.
Best for: General use.

STANDARD CASING
Slope Indicator’s traditional inclinometer casing features high-strength, flush joints and is available in three diameters.
Grooves: Grooves are machine broached for excellent control of width, chamfer, depth, straightness, and spiral.
Sealing: Solvent cement and tape.
Coupling: Precision molded couplings have interference fit for high-strength bonding. Small diameter version has integral couplings.
Assembly: Casing and couplings are glued together with ABS solvent cement, riveted, and wrapped with tape.
Best for: General use. The extra-strong joints are helpful in very deep boreholes and oversize boreholes in which casing is not well supported.

EPIC CASING
EPIC casing is an economical casing that can be cut and coupled at any point along its length.
Grooves: Grooves are formed during extrusion and are less precise than broached grooves.
Sealing: Solvent cement, mastic, and tape.
Coupling: Oversize couplings make very strong joints.
Assembly: Casing and couplings are glued together with ABS solvent cement. The joint must then be sealed with mastic and tape.
Best for: General use. Some care must be taken to seal the coupling.

CPI CASING
CPI casing features quick assembly and disassembly and is available in 3 diameters.
Grooves: Grooves are machine broached for excellent control of width, chamfer, depth, straightness, and spiral.
Sealing: O-ring seals prevent entry of grout.
Coupling: Oversize couplings and shear wires make high strength joint.
Assembly: Apply grease to O-rings, press coupling onto casing, and insert shear wire.
Best for: Cold weather assembly or temporary installations that involve repeated disassembly.
