Mine convergence measurement device

Mine convergence measurement device

Mine convergence measurement device IKSh-1 is designed to monitor roof displacements and assess the condition of the fixed contour rock mass in underground workings. It is used where it is important to track changes in the geometry of the workings in a timely manner and obtain understandable data to assess its stability.

The use of a convergegometer helps not to be limited to visual observation, but to monitor the actual changes in the attachment area. This is especially important in conditions where it is necessary to identify the development of deformations in time and make a decision on strengthening the support, adjusting the observation regime or additional safety measures.

Where IKSh-1 is used

The device is used for instrumental control in the following conditions:

• in horizontal mine workings;
• in inclined mine workings;
• at the interfaces of workings;
• in editing chambers;
• in dismantling chambers;
• in areas where roof and support condition monitoring is required.

Such a device is in demand at facilities where it is necessary to conduct regular monitoring of convergence and obtain data for geomechanical control of the state of the working.

What is the device for in practice

It is important for a potential customer to understand not only the purpose of the product, but also its practical usefulness. Mine convergemeter allows:

• record the change in the distance between the monitored points;
• monitor the dynamics of roof displacements;
• control the condition of the fixed contour array;
• to increase the validity of decisions on the operation of the working;
• reduce the risk of missing dangerous deformation processes.

In other words, the device does not provide a general assessment "by feelings", but a measurable parameter that can be used as part of production control and a system for monitoring the state of mine workings.

Customer Benefits

When choosing such equipment, not only technical characteristics are important, but also the applied value in work. IKSh-1 is convenient for tasks where you need:

• clear measurement principle;
• reliable operation in mine conditions;
• the ability to regularly monitor convergence;
• application in different sections of mine workings;
• use as a tool to prevent dangerous condition of the roof.

The device is made in the climatic version UHL1 according to GOST 15150-69, which is important for operation in appropriate conditions.

Why convergence control is important

Convergence in mine workings is one of the key indicators by which the development of deformation processes in the massif and the state of the support zone are judged. Timely instrumental monitoring allows you to notice adverse changes earlier and take action before the situation begins to affect work safety, mine stability and operating conditions.

That is why mine convergemeters are not used formally, but as a practical control tool that helps specialists obtain objective data and make decisions based on measurements.
