Precision dilatometer with built-in system of advance along the borehole

摘要

The article describes engineering designs of dilatometer to measure transverse deformation in borehole subjected to internal pressure exerted through impermeable shell. The device is equipped with the robotized system for advance along the borehole without special sectional barrels. Functionality and capacities of the dilatometer are optimized for surveying in long directional drill holes in mines.
