ELL WITH COMPONENTS

 

The Push-In Pressure Cell is designed to be pushed into the ground where it can 
measure total earth pressure and pore water pressure within soil. Typically, Push-In 
Pressure Cells are installed in fine-grained cohesive soils, including very soft to stiff 
clays.

ATURATION

 

The filter is intended to protect the delicate diaphragm area of the pressure 
transducer while allowing transmission of pore water pressures. It must be saturated 
prior to installation to allow the accurate transmission of hydraulic pressures to the 
diaphragm.
