Casagrande Standpipe
Piezometer
RST’s Casagrande Standpipe Piezometer tip consists of a slotted PVC body
that encloses and protects a porous plastic filter element. A PVC Riser Pipe
(available from RST) is connected to the tip and extended to the surface.

The Casagrande Standpipe Piezometer is mainly used for measurement of


piezometric levels and pore water pressures in soil and rock formations where
the time lag and high displacement requirements inherent in standpipes are not
crucial, and where the presence of standpipes will not hinder construction. Water
elevation in the riser pipe is measured using a Water Level Meter. Alternatively, a
Vibrating Wire Piezometer can be lowered in the pipe to allow remote reading.

>> APPLICATIONS
Monitoring of pore pressures in dams and embankments.

Slope stability investigation and leachate extraction.

Groundwater sampling, monitoring, dewatering and drainage operations.

>> FEATURES
The flush body design permits a 33% larger filter area than 0.75 in. externally
coupled instruments, while maintaining the same outside diameter.

A unique two step internal bushing will accept either 0.5 in. or 0.75 in. riser pipes while the body
will accept a 1.0 in. coupling. The same tip, therefore, will fit all three common sizes of risers.

The large number of uniform pores permits high permeability in a short length.

Smooth and protected filter element resists clogging.

May be cleaned by back flushing.

Excellent chemical resistance.

Low cost, with same day delivery.
