Pore-Water Pressure Sensor - Piezometer
Art.-No. 69.22.
Type PP3 SS
This kind of piezometer has a filter made of sintered metal at
front face. The piezoresistive piezometer is used to monitor
pore-water pressures.
The pressure sensor of the standard piezometer is encapsulated
in a waterproof housing with a diameter of 30 mm and a length
of 160 mm. The piezometer converts pore-water pressure to an
output signal proportional to the measured value via a filter and
via the diaphragm of the pressure sensor.
