The Model BSIL-P6 consists of two circular stainless steel plates, welded around their periphery, with a narrow cavity filled with de-aired oil. Changing earth pressure squeezes the plates together causing a corresponding increase of oil pressure, which is measured by a vibrating wire pressure transducer connected via a short length of steel tubing.The Model BSIL-P9 has an extra-thick back plate to minimize point loading effects when installed on concrete or rock surfaces.
Applications
The Model BSIL-P6/P9 is designed to measure total pressure in earth fills and embankments, it provides a direct means of measuringtotal pressures, i.e. the combination of effective soil stress and pore water pressure, such as bridge abutments, diaphragm walls, fills and embankments, retaining walls surfaces, sheet piling, slurry walls and tunnel linings.
