The Geokon GK-604D Digital Inclinometer System is our latest advancement
in inclinometer technology. Fully equipped with a MEMS digital inclinometer
probe, reel-mounted cable, and an all-weather Field PC, the GK-604D system is
designed to measure lateral movements in and around:
• Landslides and Unstable Slopes
•Dam Embankments
• Sheet Piling
• Caissons
• Slurry Walls
• Piles
• Landfills
• Tunnels
The rugged hand-held Field PC
communicates via Bluetooth® radio with
an interface located inside the inclinometer
cable reel. For greater accuracy the MEMS
analog output is digitised inside the probe.
The Field PC will automatically recognise
the ID of the connected probe and apply the
proper calibration factor. Survey readings
are stored in the Field PC for transfer to a
host computer for further data analysis.

High Capacity Load Cell Calibration Press
UP TO 1,200 TONS Today, load cells with higher capaci-
ties are becoming more commonly
used in geotechnical applications.
Consequently, there is a need for rea-
sonably-priced calibration reports with
accuracies that are traceable to the
NIST standards. Geokon, has installed
a custom-built press, manufactured by
Grimco of New Jersey, which is ca-
pable of performing calibrations of up
to 1,200 tons.
If you have a need for the calibration
of high capacity load cells and/or hy-
draulic jacks, please contact Geokon
for more information.
