Model EDS-50/EDS-51 Overview
Encardio-rite normal and inverted plumb lines are simple and
reliable systems that are widely used in civil engineering
projects where highly accurate long-base rotation/tilt/relative displacement measurements
are needed, like in high rise buildings, concrete and masonry dams, nuclear
plants, etc. Plumb line is mainly used
in concrete and masonry dams for measurement and monitoring of relative
displacement between:
- Dam top and the base
- Base and the foundation rock
Portable optical readout
system
The system employs two travelling telescopes (one each for X and Y
axes) for measurement of displacement. The travelling telescopes are mounted at
right angles to each other. This obviates the necessity of moving and
realigning the telescope, plumb line and reference plumb every time a reading
has to be taken in the X and Y axes. Two travelling telescopes not only cut
short the observation time but also minimize any chance of error.
To facilitate observation from the same direction, one of the
telescopes is provided with a right angle prism before the objective lens.
