Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

A modified Imperial College Piezometer incorporating a differential pressure transducer is a highly sensitive pore pressure measuring device unaffected by the total pressure of the environment in which it is placed. It is sufficiently rugged for field installation and provides the option of field calibration in situ.
