Probe Extensometers
Probe extensometers are used mostly in soils and can generally
accommodate large settlements. Readings are obtained by drawing a
probe through an access pipe. Resolution is typically limited to one
millimeter.

Rod Extensometers
The Borros point extensometer can be driven into soft soils.
Resolution is determined by the quality of the survey equipment.
Tensioned-rod and untensioned-rod extensometers are used in soil
and rock. They have a smaller range, typically 100 to 150 millime-
ters, and can provide micro-millimeter resolution.
