Profilometer (Barton Comb)

Product Code : TVT-ARTE-10294

The Profilometer (Barton Comb) from Tvet Equipments evaluates the roughness profile of rock discontinuity surfaces, helping geotechnical engineers estimate the Joint Roughness Coefficient (JRC) used in rock mass shear-strength assessment.

How It Works

The comb's sliding steel teeth are pressed against a rock joint surface and conform to its profile; the resulting outline is traced or photographed and compared against standard JRC roughness profiles to estimate the joint's roughness coefficient.
