By installing the pressure sensing surface along the curvature of a segment in the shield driving method, the GTI-E210-S series enables accurate measurement of average soil pressure applied to a wide area of a segment or back-filling.
Features:
- For Pressure Measurement
- Rated Capacity: 500 kPa & 1 MPa
- Large-sized pressure-sensing surface enables detection of average soil pressure.
- Sensor can be installed without any loss of the section of the segment itself due to blocking.
- Smooth segment surface after installation does not affect soil pressure distribution.
- Can be installed independent of the type of segment or engineering process.
- Can be installed even to a surface having a curvature. (For the limit of the curvature, contact us.)
To Ensure Safe Usage:
- The pad is made of thin metal. Do not strike it against any sharp or angular material.
- Mounting fixture is required to fix the transducer.
The GTI-E210-S series was developed jointly with the Geo-Research Institute.
