Standpipe Filter Tip
![]() |
The standpipe filter tip provides a filtered intake for standpipe
piezo meters. The tip, available in polyethylene or porous stone, is supplied
with adapters to fit 1/, 3/, and 1-inch standpipes.
| SPECIFICATIONS | |
| Filter material | Polyethylene tip is made from hydrophilic polyethylene and has 60 micron pores. Porous stone filter is made from fused aluminum oxide (Norton Alundum) and has 68 micron pores. |
| Filter Size | Filter is 12 or 24 inches long and formed into 1.5" diameter cylinder. |
| Note on Plastic Pipe Couplings | Slip couplings, although somewhat cheaper, sometimes catch falling bentonite, causing improper placement of the seal due to bridging. To prevent this, construct the riser pipe from flush-coupled plastic pipe. The smooth profile of the flush-coupled pipe allows bentonite chips to fall to the intended depth of the seal. |
