High-sensitivity Compact Pore
Water Pressure Transducer
PP-100KPA-5V/5H

The PP Series is now available with a 100 kPa capacity model

The PP Series is a high-sensitivity, compact pore water pressure transducer specifically designed for measuring pore water pressure in soil during geotechnical model testing. Its small form factor enables installation in limited spaces within laboratory-scale soil specimens, providing accurate and stable measurements of pore water pressure distribution.

Features

  • High-Accuracy Measurement through Enhanced Output
    Compared with the KPG-100KPA (1500 με) of the same capacity, the new model achieves a high output of 4000 με.
    The increased output improves resolution, enabling more precise and stable measurements.

  • Compact φ5 Design (Conventional KPG-100KPA: φ8.7 → New PP-100KPA: φ5)
    The reduced sensor diameter allows:
    Easier installation in confined spaces
    Further downsizing of laboratory models (contributing to reduced fabrication costs)
    Minimization of the sensor’s influence on the measurement environment

  • Reduced Influence on Fluid Flow (During Dynamic Measurement)
    The smaller mounting hole diameter suppresses flow disturbance and reduces its effect on pressure fluctuations.

  • Selectable Cable Outlet Direction
    Available in two configurations: vertical and horizontal cable outlet types.
    This allows flexible installation according to site and model conditions.
