Piezometers

These instruments are designed for precise pore pressure measurement, offering critical benefits such as zero drift, electromagnetic immunity, rapid dynamic response, and exceptional long-term stability. They are essential for evaluating hydraulic behavior in hydroelectric dams, tailings ponds, deep foundations, tunnels, excavations, and aquifer testing.

There are various technological variants, including standard vibrating wire models or those with an internal thermistor, pneumatic piezometers that use compressed gas, multilevel models, fast-response transducers for pump tests, and open Casagrande-type standpipes for manual readings. Additionally, high-strength titanium versions are available for demanding environments, integrating seamlessly via dataloggers and monitoring platforms.
