2  GENERAL DESCRIPTION & SPECIFICATIONS 

The horizontal inclinometer system mainly comprises of the following: 

2.1 

Casing model EAN-26-MH/1.1 

Self-aligning ABS inclinometer casing with four internal groove at 90

°

 to each other with 70 mm o.d. and 

58 mm i.d. in 3 m length is supplied. Grooves inside the casing control the orientation of the probe and 
provide a fixed surface for measurements. Casing is installed with one pair of groove aligned vertically 
such that there is a top groove and a bottom groove.  

2.2 

Fixed coupling EAN-26MH/1.2 

ABS, 77 mm o.d., 160 mm long fixed coupling is used  for jointing two lengths of the above access 
casing.  

 

Casing (70 mm od, 3 m long)

 

Coupling (77 mm od,

 

 160 mm long)

 

 

 

2.3 

Protective cap model EAN-26MH/1.4 

End cap for inclinometer cable reel end. The protective end cap incorporates a threaded adaptor.  

2.4 

Protective cap model EAN-26MH/1.5 

End cap for pull cable reel end. The protective end cap incorporates a removable pin.  

2.5 

Inclinometer probe model EAN-26MH/2.1 

It is of stainless steel construction designed to take measurements within horizontally installed 
inclinometer casing. The probe is uniaxial and is fitted with a pair of pivoted sprung wheels which can 
freely rotate on individual bearings  and a  pair of fixed wheel so as to rest on the base of the access 
tubing having a center distance of 500 mm i.e. gage length. Both the ends of probe have provision to fix 
threaded adaptor used to connect the pull cable when taking readings. A four pin connector is provided 
for connection to the cable. A ‘

+’ 

sign is marked on one side of sprung wheels. This side will be at the top
