Pore Pressure Apparatus
Product Code : JA-ST-9822
The Pore Pressure Apparatus (SKU JA-ST-9822) measures pore water pressure and pore air pressure in soil specimens. It combines a screw pressure pump, a perspex null indicator, a pressure gauge, a mercury manometer and a volume change burette, joined by the connecting tubes and valves supplied, so that pore pressure can be balanced and read during triaxial and consolidation tests in soil mechanics laboratories.
