Descriptions
The sensor is housed in a robust stainless steel sealed body with a porous filter tip, which are available in different porosities to suit specific site conditions.
It comprises a highly sensitive stainless steel diaphragm onto which a Wheatstone bridge strain gauge is mounted and connected to a signal-conditioning board to convert to a 4-20mA output within the piezometer housing.
When liquid pressure is applied to the diaphragm it causes the Wheatstone bridge strain gauge to output a signal, which is directly proportional to the applied pressure.
They are available in standard or vented versions and can be read by simple hand held readout units or integrated into a data logger for fully automated monitoring.
