Multiple Point Borehole Extensometer

YieldPoint recognizes that in many mining situation fast deployment of an ungrouted borehole extensometer is advantageous. The dMPBX is a unique 1 to 6-Point Multiple Point Borehole eXtensometer (MPBX) based on a single rod design. The anchors are fitted with stainless steel extension springs that secure the instrument in a 38-50mm borehole. The d-MPBX incorporates digital signal processing to result in dramatically improved accuracy compared to similar existing technology.

 

The Multiple Point Borehole eXtensometer (MPBX) incorporates digital signal processing to result in dramatically improved accuracy.  The signal eliminates the necessity for analog-to-digital conversion, resulting in a readout unit that reads data directly in mm and °C. The signals themselves are robust and can be transmitted over 500m of lead-wire. The sensor output is an ASCII (9600,8,N,1) digital signal which can be read by a d-Reader, dataloggers (BluLink and BluLogger), and wirelessly networked BluGateway for transmission to cloud based servers.
