Dummy probe: purpose
The dummy probe is a tool designed for the preliminary verification of the accessibility and integrity of inclinometer casings prior to the use of the measuring inclinometer probe.
Features
Featuring geometry and mechanical characteristics similar to those of an inclinometer probe, but without sensitive components, the dummy probe allows operators to detect possible obstructions, deformations, or anomalies along the inclinometer casing without exposing the measuring instrument to the risk of damage or loss.
Why it matters
The use of the dummy probe represents a fundamental step in inclinometer monitoring operations, as it ensures operational safety and preserves the integrity of the inclinometer probe, significantly reducing costs related to potential failures or retrieval operations.
Construction
Made entirely of stainless steel and equipped with a steel cable coated with a polyurethane sheath and graduated every centimeter, the probe ensures robustness, reliability, and ease of use, even in harsh field conditions.
