Single-point Settlement Meter

Kingmach Single-point Settlement Meter also differ by installation form, and that selection has a direct effect on field reliability. Embedded gauges use settlement plates, rods, conduits, anchors, and side-exit cables. Hydrostatic instruments rely on tubes, liquid level relationships, reference points, and careful elevation control. Magnetic ring settlement water level gauges use boreholes, underground rings, a probe, tape markings, and manual depth readings. These are not interchangeable site layouts. The specification should state whether the sensor will be buried, fixed to a structure, connected through a hydraulic tube, read manually, or tied into RS485 acquisition. It should also define access after backfilling, compaction, dewatering, or traffic operation. A product with excellent accuracy can still produce poor records if the installation form does not match the site. For this reason, installation drawings, photos, channel names, and baseline notes should be prepared before routine settlement data is accepted. The field record should include model, installation form, reference relationship, and first stable reading so later reviewers can understand the measurement context.
