The Casagrande piezometer is an instrument used to measure groundwater levels or neutral pressures in soils with different permeability.
It is composed by a filter head and one or two PVC tubes which connect the porous element to the surface .
Measurement of groundwater levels is generally performed with \u201celectrical sensor\u201d.
The filter head of the Casagrande piezometer is made of tubes (mixture of conglomerate silicates) 400 mm long, connected to a plastic head which enables connection to the measuring tube and forms an accumulation chamber for impurities. Upon request, the piezometer can be provided with different filter elements, the porous element with various degrees of permeability, in order to meet varying requirements. The piezometer can be completed with a metal head including anchor device and sealing plug devices.
As an alternative to porous cells a slotted PVC pipe covered with geotextile can be used.
Also available are filters for coupling the two tubes to enable draining of the filter itself, as well as automated versions that allow the use of electric or vibrating wire pressiometric cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
