WW piezometers convert water pressure on the diaphragm
to be measured into an equivalent frequency signal. The
pressure on the diaphragm changed by fluid pressure
‘causes a change in tension of the wire.
The wire excited by the plucking vibrates at its resonant
frequency. The frequency signal transmitted through a
cable to the readout.
‘Special stainless steel is used to minimize thermal zero
shift in the frequency and the precision of the diaphragm is,
high when manufactured it.
Also the pressure transducer is equipped with a lightning
protection for protecting the sensor electrical shock and a.
temperature device for compensating for temperature
variations.
© Not affected by cable length and resistance change,
reproducibility are very excellence
© Optimum design
© Possible to automatic measurement

‘The VW piezometers are designed to measure pore water,
and fluid pressure at the pressure tank and pipe line,
borehole, foundation, and dam,
‘© Measurement ofthe effects of drainage systems used for
excavations.
© Measurement of pore water pressure to determine safety
factor under excavation or banking,
© Measurement of water level to check the performance in
rivers, reservoirs, standpipes,
© Measurement of pore water pressure to determine slope
stabilty
‘© Measurement of flows of underground water and water
leakage in embankments, dams and artificial lakes.
[Model 1510 standard]
Model 1510 VW piezometer is designed to be embedded in
earth fills and at concrete interfaces or inserted into,
boreholes and small diameter pipes.
[Model 1520 push-in type]
Mode! 1520 VW piezometer is placed in consolidated fine
{grain materials such as sand, sil, or clay.
‘The extemal housing is a thick walled cylinder fited with
tapered shoe at one end, and an EW drill rod or standard,
pipe thread adapter at the cable entry end, It can withdraw
to use again after construction.
[Model 1530 pressure sensor type]
Model 1530 VW piezometer is designed to measure fluid
pressure in pipelines for industrial and hydraulic.
Model 1830 was processed as 3/8" pipe thread, so you can
itectly unite to the female thread part or you can unite to
the male thread part using the union. And it is useful to
measure up stream pressure in a hydroelectric power plant.

‘© VW piezometers are sensitive to atmospheric pressure
variations. The change in heads caused by atmospheric
pressure variations, must be compensated for them,
Using @ barometer to take an accurate reading in field
that atmospheric pressure variations is frequent as
dams, valleys and reclaimed lands.
‘© VW piezometer is attached with low density filter of 50,
1m, Soak it into water over 12hours before establishment
and deflate air, then you can get accurate measurement.
© In establishing VW piezometer, please, put signal cable
longer enough than depth of perforation by 10~-20% so
as to prevent from breakdown of cable by settlement.
‘© A high air entry tip with 1 micron pores and permeability
is used in unsaturated soils and where negative pore
pressures are anticipated.
‘© When you install VW piezometer in soft ground, you
must protect a signal cable by garden hose. If not, the
signal cable is cut down ar is short circuit caused by
rotation of drill core,
