How does the Probe function?
The Serata Probe measures stress state (S) and material properties (P) by observing force balance between the internal probe loading force and external earth stress. This proprietary principle (single-fracture method) makes automatic S and P measurements simple, fast, accurate and repeatable. Details of Probe function are described with laboratory and field verifications in Category 2; gInvention of Serata Probeh. The superiority of the Probe over the conventional methods is itemized in Table 1-1.
