SGP-3400 VW Strain Gauge Piezometers

The SGP-3400 Strain Gauge Piezometer is a high-precision instrument designed for measuring pore water pressure and water level changes. It can also be utilised for dynamic monitoring activities.

The SGP-3400 consists of a strain gauge sensor housed within a robust stainless steel body. It also includes a porous filter tip. The device operates by converting liquid changes into electrical signals that are directly proportional to applied pressure. Data can be easily analysed with hand-held readout units. Alternatively, the sensor can be easily integrated into existed data logging systems. Key specifications of the SGP-3400 include:
  • Different porosities available for the filter tip
  • Wide pressure range from 100 to 3,500 kPa
  • Accurate to <0.1% FS
  • Temperature range from -20 to +80°C
This piezometer adaptable to most conditions. The rugged casing ensures long term durability and accuracy in harsh environments, including saturated soils and fluctuating temperatures. It is available in both standard and vented versions and the filter tip can be changed to suit site specifics. With precise measurements, durable design and adaptable features, the SGP-3400 Strain Gauge Piezometer supports effective monitoring, risk assessment and compliance.

Monitel deploys the SGP-3400 to monitor pore water pressure in a range of environmental projects. These include:

This piezometer provides highly accurate measurements in all conditions, making it an useful tool for applications where stability and water movement need to be closely monitored. It can also be used alongside other geotechnical instrumentation. We integrate the SGP-3400 with our real-time monitoring systems, utilising its compatibility with standard data loggers to collect and analyse data. With this, we can identify potential risks such as seepage, liquefaction, or soil instability.
