Vibrating
Wire Piezometers are available in a variety of designs but they are typically
used for measuring pore-water pressures or pressure of fluids in various
construction activities and applications. These instruments are installed in
boreholes in in-situ soils, foundations, earth and rock fills, and rocks. They
are also used in hydraulic systems to determine fluid pressure and levels with
a sharp degree of accuracy.
The
vibrating wire piezometers are highly effective in monitoring studies in the
geotechnical aspects of major civil engineering and mining projects. They are
deployed in projects such as construction of dams, highways, landfills,
underground mining and open cut mining. Piezometers are also useful in
construction activities involving building of tunnels, airports, and reclamations
among others.
The
best piezometers come with a low air entry sintered steel or high air entry
ceramic filters. You can easily push it into installations using the uniquely
designed coned nose piece. Temperature monitoring is done by an advanced
integral thermistor. It is usually used in conjunction with vibrating wire load
cell which helps in expanding the scope of operations.
Vibrating wire piezometers are easy to handle and use
because they are compact in size. The best ones have proven technology to
deliver highly accurate results
