A piezometer tip containing a porous element is connected via rigid tubing to ground level. Piezometric pressure at the tip is indicated by the head of water which develops inside the standpipe tubing. This water level is normally determined by lowering a dipmeter probe from ground level, but remote reading systems can also be supplied.
Lengths of standpipe tubing are supplied, complete with all necessary connectors. For borehole installations it is normal to use rigid PVC. Piezometer pipe with an internal diameter of 19mm is available in lengths of one and three metre. Each end is threaded .75" MBSP and supplied with one threaded socket for connection. Standpipe 3m PIEZO 2 Standpipe 1m PIEZO 3
Porous HDPE or ceramic piezometer elements are available with an average pore diameter of approximately 60 microns and a permeability of approximately 3 x10-4m/sec. The tips are supplied with a .75" BSP threaded connector.
