The Standpipe Piezometer is composed of a Vyon tube set inside a perforated PVC piezometer tip which is ideal for metal sampling. As well as this, the 601 is suitable for water level monitoring, permeability measurements, air sparging, construction control, de-watering drainage operations and slope stability investigations, etc.
The 601 tip connects to the surface with 3/4â?? ID PVC riser pipe using slip-fit couplings. Reducer couplings can also be used to connect to other sizes of riser pipe or casing. The standard 601 tip lengths available are 15cm, 30cm, 60cm and 90cm (6â??, 1ft, 2ft, and 3ft).
For those applications that need a Piezometer to be pushed into the soil below the bottom of a borehole, Solinst now offers the Model 615 stainless steel Drive-Point Piezometer. This can also be driven directly into the ground from the surface.
