T500 ELECTROLYTIC TILTMETER

Description

The T500 tiltmeter is an electrolytic fluid-based tilt sensor that can be used for precision rotation measurements, generally over a short period of time. These units connect directly to our Structural Testing System, Structural Monitoring Systems, and are also compatible with most generic data acquisition systems. The rugged aluminum housings provide both easy mounting and mechanical zero-adjustment capability.

Features

  • Simple & quick range adjustment
  • Mounting tabs for adhesive application
  • Measurement range from ±0.5° to ±60°
  • 4 mounting configurations
  • Designed to exceed IP67
  • High accuracy
  • Sub-arc second resolution
  • Internal signal conditioning
  • Overload protection

APPLICATIONS

  • Rotation in bridge slabs, beams, and piers due to live load
  • Retaining wall or abutment movement during construction
  • Rotation angle of tainter gates during operation
