PiCUS Calliper

Categories: ,

Both our tomography methods do require exact geometry information in regards to the positioning of all measuring points in order to calculate the sonic and electric resistance tomograms. The tomograms are more precise when the positioning of the measurement points is entered as accurate as possible. The PiCUS Calliper is an instrument that helps to measure the positions of all measuring points quickly and accurately.

    Description

    PiCUS Calliper Product description

    The triangulation method is an accurate and efficient way to determine the geometry of the measurement plane for PiCUS tomography.

    Before a PiCUS tomography measurement can be performed, the geometry of the tree at the measurement plane must first be determined. The PiCUS Calliper enables easy operation and precise implementation of the triangulation method, even for complex tree cross sectional shapes.

    The more accurately the geometry is determined, the more accurate the resulting tomogram will be. Both the PiCUS TreeTronic 3 and the PiCUS Sonic Tomograph 3 are fully compatible with the PiCUS Calliper. As an option, the PiCUS Calliper can be integrated directly into the tomograph’s transport case, allowing you to carry everything you need for a measurement in one compact system.

    Measuring principle

    The Measuring principle:

    The geometry of a tree at the measuring level can be recorded precisely using a triangulation method. The level is split into many triangles, the lengths of all sides of which are measured. Each MP is a corner of a triangle. Two MP are part of all the triangles in a measurement. The line between these two points is called the “baseline”. Theory of triangulation method The position of the third corner of the triangle is calculated using the length of the sides. Based on one or three baselines, the x/y positions of all MP can be calculated.

    PiCUS TensionPiCUS Tension

    PiCUS Tension

    The PiCUS Tension is a system installed autonomously underground or above ground at the location of your trees. It can accommodate up to seven sensors that measure soil water tension or volumetric water content of the soil, allowing for conclusions about water availability for your plants. The sensors can be positioned freely, either across the area or, for instance, within the root ball at various heights.

    PiCUS TreeQineticPiCUS TreeQinetic

    PiCUS TreeQinetic

    The PiCUS TreeQinetic measuring system is used to perform tensile tests on trees. Tensile tests serve as part of detailed tree examinations to determine the break resistance and stability by measuring the tree’s reaction to an artificial wind substitute load.

    PiCUS TreeMotionPiCUS TreeMotion

    PiCUS TreeMotion

    The wind reaction measurement with the PiCUS TreeMotion Sensor is used to assess the stability of trees as part of detailed investigations.

    PiCUS TreeTronicPiCUS TreeTronic

    PiCUS TreeTronic

    The PiCUS TreeTronic measures the electrical resistances in wood, which are influenced by the water content, the cell structure and the chemical composition. Since a rot usually has a high level of moisture and thus a low resistance, it can be recognized early with the PiCUS TreeTronic.

    PiCUS Sonic TomographPiCUS Sonic Tomograph

    PiCUS Sonic Tomograph

    The PiCUS Sonic Tomograph analyses sonic waves in order to draw conclusions of the wood’s inner structure. In solid wood, sonic waves propagate fast. Defects within the wood interfere with the propagation of the waves and lead to lower calculated velocities. The different recorded velocities are displayed in varying colors in the tomogram.
