A wide range of electrical piezometers and pressure transducers are available for different applications. Electrical piezometers and pressure transducers are equipped with a deformable diaphragm with screen printed resistor gauges forming a 4-arms Wheatstone bridge.
The P235S piezometers are used to monitor pore pressure when a fast response, dynamic measurements and/or high accuracy are required.
The model P252A is supplied with a ½-inch male thread to be coupled with a hydraulic pressure line (for up-lift water pressure monitoring).

VENTED PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
The P252R pressure transducer is equipped with a vented sensor which provides automatic compensation for barometric pressure changes. This transducer provide ground water table monitoring in Casagrande piezometers, wells and standpipe piezometers.
Removable pore pressure transducer
P252C is a removable pressure transducer for soil pore pressure monitoring. It is suitable for long-term monitoring, as the instrument can be removed for calibration checks, maintenance or re-used in other boreholes. When inserted into the P101 filter unit, the pressure seal is assured by its conical tip with an O-ring kept in place on the cable by a string of dead weights.).
