Model LPMH - Soil Settlement Measuring System- Brochure

The system basically consists of a measurement probe containing a pressure transmitter that, via a hose on a reel, is connected to a liquid reservoir. The probe is pulled through the settlement pipe or drain line with intervals, (e.g. 1,00m, 2,00m, 5,00m etc). Recording the hydrostatic pressure at each interval results in the relative profile of the pipe`s level. By subsequently putting the probe on a fixed point outside the pipe it is possible to relate the pipe`s profile to the national grid level. By repeating the measurement with time intervals the progression of the settlement of the subsoil is determined in a very accurate manner. To ensure maximum accuracy each measurement is automatically compensated for variations in temperature and atmospheric pressure. The measurement vehicle is fitted with an automatic processor/datalogger so that the readings can be made available right on the spot, if so required.
