Applications:

• Ground water level monitoring
• Ground water slug testing to determine

Advantages of Pressure Sensors in water level measurements:

• Out put can be analog or digital depending on model
• Smaller diameter stilling well or pipe can be used for installation.
• A low profile installation site can be achieved using pressure sensors with internal data logging.
• Easy to install, maintain and calibrate.

Limitations of Pressure sensors in water level measurements:

• Typically subject to long-term drift and variations with temperatures. However, they are in the water where the temperature is usually fairly stable, so the temperature concern may not be too high. It is good idea to check calibration every 6 months.
• Fouling or corrosion with direct exposure to the water can affect the readings.
• Models are available in a broad pressure range that needs to be known at time of purchases.
• Some models require breather tube in the cable to reference to atmospheric pressure for best accuracy.
• Some models have a sensor head that can be easily damage to human touch or other objects touch.
