1. Introduction This guide details the steps taken in the design of Soil Instrument Piezometers to keep temperature effects to a minimum and the alternatives offered for environments in which there is rapid temperature change. 2. Temperature Correction Soil Instruments manufactured vibrating wire Piezometers incorporate compensation for the effects of changes in temperature, this negates the need for correction factors in most installations.
For situations where large temperature changes are expected we can provide individual compensation factors providing these are requested at the time of order.
Tip: Rapid changes in temperature cause the inner body to expand earlier than the wire causing an increase in the readings, this will reduce once the temperature of both the wire and the body equalise.
