Casagrande Filters PCA-001
Pore Pressure Measurement for Soils with Average Permeability
The Casagrande Filters PCA-001 are specialized tools used to measure pore pressure in soils with average permeability. These filters are ideal for geotechnical monitoring, helping to assess groundwater levels and soil pressure. The filters, made of ceramic and with a pore diameter of 20 microns, are used in piezometers to provide accurate measurements of pressure in saturated soils. They are connected to water level meters or electric pressure transducers for reliable, real-time data collection. Perfect for applications such as monitoring slopes, groundwater, and soil stability.
Key Features:
- Pore Diameter: 20 microns
- Filter Material: Ceramic
- Pipe Diameters: 1/2″
- Pipe Length: 3.0 m
Applications:
- Piezometers for groundwater monitoring
- Measuring pore pressure in soils with average permeability
- Monitoring of slopes, landslides and ground stability
- Geotechnical monitoring and analysis
