The MTM3000 Submersible Pressure Transducer is a perfect fit for level measurement in dam banks, particularly when access is restricted to small diameter pipes. Its slender 10mm diameter design allows for installation in narrow piezometer tubes or monitoring wells often used in dam construction. These pipes are strategically placed within the dam structure to monitor pore water pressure and assess the dam’s stability.
Utilizing a small diameter transducer like the MTM3000 minimizes disruption to the surrounding soil and ensures the integrity of the monitoring well. Larger diameter instruments can potentially create gaps or voids around the installation, compromising the accuracy of pressure readings and potentially affecting the structural integrity of the dam. The compact size of the MTM3000 mitigates these risks, providing reliable and accurate data without compromising the dam’s safety.
Furthermore, the MTM3000‘s slim profile allows for easier installation in existing infrastructure. Dam banks often have pre-installed narrow access tubes for monitoring purposes. Retrofitting these with larger sensors can be challenging and costly. The MTM3000’s compact design simplifies the upgrade process, enabling accurate level measurement without significant modifications to the existing infrastructure.
In addition to its compact size, the MTM3000 offers a 35-meter PUR cable, providing ample length for reaching depths of 30 meters encountered in dam bank applications. The 0-5Vdc output signal ensures compatibility with a wide range of monitoring and data acquisition systems, simplifying integration into your existing setup.
