Casagrande Standpipe Piezometer EPB0009M PDF

The document describes RST Instruments' Casagrande Standpipe Piezometer. The piezometer tip consists of a slotted PVC body enclosing a porous plastic filter that protects groundwater samples. It connects to a riser pipe extending to the surface for remote water level readings. Main uses are monitoring pore pressures, slopes, leachate extraction, and groundwater. Features include a flush body design for a larger filter area than competitors within the same diameter. Custom sizes and accessories are available.

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. A CPVC body is available for leachate extraction.

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;
Bourdon tube gauges may be attached to monitor artesian pressures.

Drive-in models and custom sizes are also available.
