Solinst 601 PVC Standpipe Piezometer

Solinst 601 PVC Standpipe Piezometer

The Solinst 601 PVC Standpipe Piezometer is a perforated rigid-PVC tip fitted with a porous HDPE filter sleeve that keeps out silts and fine sands while letting groundwater enter. It is placed or lowered into a pre-drilled borehole (or pushed into loose sand or tailings) and connected to the surface by joining lengths of 3/4" Schedule 40 PVC riser pipe with slip couplings. Backfill is placed around the perforated tip and the top closed with a slip cap, making it a permanent, single-installation piezometer rather than one designed to be retrieved.

  • Perforated rigid PVC tip with a porous HDPE (Vyon) filter sleeve
  • ~60-micron average pore size keeps out silts and fine sands
  • Connects to standard 3/4" Schedule 40 PVC riser pipe with slip couplings
  • Available in 6 inch, 1 ft, 2 ft, and 3 ft tip lengths
  • Suitable for placement in drilled boreholes or pushed into loose sediment
  • Reducer couplings available for other riser or casing sizes
  • Groundwater level monitoring in permanent installations
  • Permeability and hydraulic conductivity measurements
  • Construction and dewatering control
  • Slope stability investigations
  • Air sparging installations
  • Metals and general water quality sampling points
