Titanium Pressure Transducer
Advantages
Applications
Designed for compatibility with
industrial data loggers, the titanium
pressure transducer is used to moni-
tor pore-water pressure and water
levels.
Typical applications include:
• Monitoring pore-water pressures in
corrosive environments such as
salt water and landfills.
• Monitoring rapid changes in pore-
water pressure such as those pro-
duced by earthquakes.
• Monitoring water levels in pumping
tests.

High Resistance to Corrosion: All
metal parts, including the diaphragm,
are made from titanium.
High Resistance to Noise: The
piezometer’s electronics are highly
resistant to electrical noise and
mechanical vibration, such as that
generated by pumps.
4-20mA Compatibility: The tita-
nium pressure transducer incorpo-
rates a 4-20mA transmitter to provide
compatibility with standard industrial
data acquisition systems.

suspended in a well. Signal cable
from the transducer is terminated at a
readout station, where it can be con-
nected to a data logger or readout
device.
Water pressure acts on diaphragm of
the transducer. Semiconductor strain
gauges bonded to the inside of the
diaphragm sense the pressure and
output a signal that is proportional to
the pressure on the diaphragm.
The signal is transmitted to the data
logger or readout device via a 4-
20mA loop circuit.
