Single-point Settlement Meter

Selecting Kingmach Single-point Settlement Meter begins with the scale and shape of expected movement. A single embedded point, a hydrostatic comparison line, a wide-range profile, and a magnetic ring borehole answer different questions. JMDL-47XXAT covers 100 mm to 400 mm embedded settlement. JMDL-62XXADT and JMQJ-62XXADT provide 0.01 mm hydrostatic resolution for smaller vertical changes. JMYC-62XXAD covers 500 mm to 4000 mm with 0.1 mm resolution and 0.2%FS accuracy for larger movement. JMCJ-1003/1005 provides plus or minus 1 mm depth reading for magnetic ring settlement and water level checks. Selection should consider whether the structure will remain accessible, whether groundwater is part of the risk, whether automatic collection is required, and whether the reference point can remain stable for the full observation period. A short-range high-resolution instrument is not automatically better if the site may move beyond its travel. A large-range system is not always best if the project needs very small early warnings.

Application of  Single-point Settlement Meter

Application of Single-point Settlement Meter

Reclamation and soft ground treatment need Single-point Settlement Meter with enough range to follow large settlement while construction is still changing the load on the ground. In these projects, readings are usually reviewed beside fill height, surcharge placement, drainage progress, vacuum or preload timing, groundwater records, and cross-section drawings. Kingmach JMYC-62XXAD is well matched to this setting because it is a wide-range differential pressure hydrostatic level sensor with 500 mm to 4000 mm range options, 0.1 mm resolution, 0.2%FS accuracy, and RS485 communication. Instead of treating each point as a separate number, engineers can use a reference-point system to see how a whole section is deforming. One area may settle quickly after fill placement, while another reacts more slowly because drainage or soil thickness differs. That profile supports decisions about waiting periods, additional observation, or construction sequencing. The instrument layout should stay clear of heavy vehicle routes, protect cables near temporary roads, and preserve reference stability through the full treatment period.

The future of Single-point Settlement Meter

The future of Single-point Settlement Meter

Future Single-point Settlement Meter will be specified as part of mixed monitoring packages. Settlement alone may show that a point moved downward, but it rarely explains the cause. A railway subgrade package may combine settlement gauges, rainfall, pore pressure, tilt, and vibration. A bridge package may combine hydrostatic settlement, strain gauges, load cells, temperature, and deflection readings. A foundation pit package may combine single-point settlement, groundwater level, retaining wall displacement, and support force. Kingmach already has product groups across settlement, displacement, strain, load, tilt, environmental monitoring, acquisition hardware, cables, and software. The next practical improvement is selecting the settlement product together with the logger, cabinet, communication route, warning levels, and inspection actions. This lets the monitoring network answer a site question instead of producing separate curves that must be interpreted after the fact.

Care & Maintenance of Single-point Settlement Meter

Care & Maintenance of Single-point Settlement Meter

Magnetic ring Single-point Settlement Meter need consistent field habits. For JMCJ-1003/1005, record borehole number, ring depth, water level depth, tape mark, operator, date, battery status, and previous reading each time. The magnetic ring function relies on electromagnetic induction and audible or visual indication, while water level detection responds when the probe contacts water. Different operators should use the same borehole orifice reference mark and the same tape handling method. After field work, clean the probe, dry the reel, inspect the tape cable, check the battery, and note any weak alarm or rough movement in the borehole. Layered settlement data depends on repeated depth reading discipline. A small careless change in reference mark can look like soil compression, so field notes should be plain, dated, and easy to audit.

Kingmach Single-point Settlement Meter

Wide-area settlement monitoring needs Single-point Settlement Meter that can handle larger travel and uneven profiles. Kingmach JMYC-62XXAD wide-range differential pressure hydrostatic level sensors are designed for pavement settlement, cross-sectional nonlinear settlement, soft foundation treatment, land reclamation foundations, dam subgrades, slope stability, bridge deflection, and building settlement. The listed range extends from 500 mm to 4000 mm, with 0.1 mm resolution and 0.2%FS accuracy. This makes it different from micro range sensors used for smaller deflection changes. A long road or reclamation section should not be judged by one point only. The value comes from comparing a profile over time, then linking that profile with filling stage, surcharge timing, drainage records, groundwater, and site inspection notes. This is especially important when several instruments share one cabinet or when hydrostatic tubes, embedded rods, and manual borehole readings appear in the same project.
