The open standpipe piezometer is used to measure the water table level. The filters are made of high density polyethylene with a threaded cap joint for two ½ tubes or one 1 ½ slotted tubes wrapped in filtering fabric. A stainless steel push-in filter unit is also available for soft soil installation.
