Model EPU-20V Vibrating Wire Uplift Pressure System

EPU-20V is a vibrating wire uplift pressure measurement system that uses a vibrating wire pressure sensor. It is designed for monitoring uplift pressure of water in foundation of dams and concrete structures. The sensor is similar to EPP-30V except that instead of filter, a 25 mm BSP adaptor is provided for pipe connection. A perforated/non-perforated pipe is inserted in the borehole, at the top of which EPU-20V is attached through valve and fittings.
