Operation |
The Standard Vibrating Wire Piezometer is designed for the accurate measurement of pore water pressures in fully or partially saturated soil.
The piezometer tip has an integral porous filter element containing a diaphragm type Vibrating Wire pressure transducer. A cable connects the transducer to a read-out, terminal unit or data logger. The readout can display either frequency based units, or on inputting the instrument calibration factor, it can also display engineering units. |
Application |
Piezometers are used in geotechnical, environmental, and hydrological applications. They can be installed in boreholes, placed in fill materials or open wells to measure water levels or pore water pressures to enable engineers to verify design assumptions and control placement of fill. With a nose cone fitted the piezometer can also be pushed into soft ground with a CPT rig.
