Pressure Cell

The pressure cell is designed to measure total pressure in earth fills and embankments; as well as pressure on the surface of retaining walls, buildings, bridge abutments, and tunnel linings

Description:

Pressure Cells consist of a sealed diaphragm, which deforms when pressure is applied. This deformation changes the electrical resistance or capacitance, providing a measurable output that correlates with the pressure applied. Pressure Cells are essential for understanding load distribution, evaluating foundation stress, and assessing material performance under various loads.

Key Features:
  • High Accuracy: Provides precise pressure measurements in various conditions.
  • Durability: Built to withstand harsh environments, including extreme temperatures and pressures.
  • Compact Design: Allows for easy installation in confined spaces.
  • Long-Term Stability: Maintains reliability over extended periods.
  • Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of applications in soil, concrete, and rock.
  • Waterproof: Sealed to prevent moisture ingress, ensuring long-term performance.
Applications:
  • Foundation and Structural Monitoring: Assess pressure distribution in foundations, dams, and bridges.
  • Geotechnical Investigations: Measure the pressure exerted by soil, rock, and concrete in construction sites.
  • Load Testing: Monitor pressure in testing of materials and structural components.
  • Tunnel and Underground Cavities: Measure pressure in tunnels, shafts, and other underground structures.
  • Earthquake Monitoring: Analyze pressure changes in geotechnical structures during seismic events.
