Standpipe Piezometer
Description
Standpipe Piezometer
The Standpipe Piezometer has a perforated PVC body containing a 70 micron filter element. It allows levelling and sampling of groundwater and in-situ permeability testing. Upgrading with a diaphragm type piezometer (Model 1100 or Model 1200) is possible at a different stage.
A large number of uniform pores permit high permeability in a short length. To get the same open area as a 300 mm length of plastic filter material. One would need 7 m of a standard 25 mm slotted pipe.
Drive-in models are available (Model 1050).
Applications
- Monitoring of pore pressures in dams and embankments
