settlement gauge
Kingmach settlement gauge include the JMDL-47XXAT smart single-point settlement gauge for buried positions where a defined vertical movement must be followed through construction. It is used for subgrade settlement, embankment heave, base uplift in deep foundation pits, tunnel bottom uplift, dyke compression deformation, and pile foundation settlement. Published range options are 100 mm, 200 mm, 300 mm, and 400 mm. Resolution is 0.01 mm on 100 mm and 200 mm models, and 0.1 mm on 300 mm and 400 mm models. Gauge lengths cover 760 mm, 1240 mm, 1720 mm, and 2210 mm. The assembly includes a settlement plate, electrical displacement sensor, measuring rod with metal flexible conduit, anchor head, extension rod, and bottom anchor head. Its side-exit cable design helps reduce interference during pavement compaction. The product is strongest when the installation depth, plate location, cable route, fill layer, and first stable reading are documented before the buried parts disappear under later work.
Application of settlement gauge
In dam monitoring, settlement gauge are used for long-term observation of dam body settlement, gallery deformation, foundation movement, and vertical change near water-control structures. This work has a slow rhythm: reservoir level, seepage, rainfall, seasonal temperature, and consolidation history may all affect the curve. Kingmach JMQJ-62XXADT gives micro range hydrostatic measurement with IP68 protection and 0.01 mm resolution, while JMYC-62XXAD provides wider 500 mm to 4000 mm ranges for larger vertical displacement. JMDL-62XXADT can form a multi-point hydrostatic leveling network when several positions must be compared from one reference. A dam layout should treat the reference location, tube route, cabinet position, cable protection, and access path as part of the measurement system. During operation, engineers should review settlement data with reservoir records, seepage flow, piezometer behavior, inspection notes from galleries, and downstream observation results. The goal is to see whether a slow trend matches expected consolidation or whether it appears near a structural joint, foundation zone, or water level event. Good records make annual dam-safety review more traceable and reduce confusion when readings are checked years later.
The future of settlement gauge
The future of settlement gauge will give more attention to reference-point control. Hydrostatic leveling systems calculate vertical deformation by comparing measuring points against a reference, so the reference must be protected, inspected, and named clearly in the platform. Kingmach products such as JMDL-62XXADT, JMQJ-62XXADT, and JMYC-62XXAD already support multi-point settlement measurement through connected liquid paths and digital output. Future systems can record reference sensor status, water pipe condition, temperature, zero value, and maintenance events together with each settlement curve. This will help engineers avoid confusing reference drift with real subgrade, bridge, dam, or building movement. Better reference records will also make handover easier when a project moves from construction control to long-term operation. The practical goal is to keep settlement data understandable after the original installation crew has left, so owners can compare old and new readings without reconstructing the field history from memory. The same record should remain readable for designers, contractors, owners, and maintenance teams, because settlement monitoring often continues long after the first construction report is finished.
Care & Maintenance of settlement gauge
Hydrostatic settlement gauge need regular checks of the liquid path. For systems using JMDL-62XXADT, JMQJ-62XXADT, or JMYC-62XXAD, inspect water pipes, connectors, sensor elevation, reference point, cabinet wiring, and tube protection. Kinks, leakage, air pockets, freezing risk, or construction damage can change the apparent settlement curve. Check whether readings change after pipe work, cabinet maintenance, or nearby excavation. For outdoor systems, protect tubes from vehicle traffic, sharp edges, workers, and animal damage. When a reading shifts suddenly, confirm the reference sensor and water path before treating the value as structural movement. Hydrostatic systems can be very useful, but they depend on a clean, continuous, well-documented connection between points. The record should include who inspected the point, what changed on site, and whether nearby instruments showed the same trend, so the maintenance team can separate sensor trouble from real settlement.

Kingmach settlement gauge
Wide-area settlement monitoring needs settlement gauge 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.

FAQ
Q: What is JMCJ-1003/1005 used for?
A: It is used to measure layered underground settlement and groundwater level in foundations, subgrades, foundation pits, embankments, and underground structures.
Q: How does magnetic ring settlement reading work?
A: Magnetic rings are placed underground; when the probe senses a ring, audible and visual alerts help the operator read depth from the steel tape at the borehole.
Q: How is water level detected?
A: The water level component works by water conductivity and alerts when the probe contacts water.
Q: What accuracy is listed?
A: The listed measurement accuracy is plus or minus 1 mm.
Q: What field records are needed?
A: Keep borehole number, magnetic ring depth, previous reading, current reading, groundwater level, and operator notes together.
