Definition of piezometer in English:

piezometer

noun ˌpʌɪɪˈzɒmɪtəpiəˈzɑmədər

An instrument for measuring the pressure of a liquid or gas, or something related to pressure (such as the compressibility of liquid). Piezometers are often placed in boreholes to monitor the pressure or depth of groundwater.
Example sentencesExamples
- Two piezometers were installed to measure groundwater levels.
- The instrumentation includes various gauges embedded in the dam structure or installed around the dam body, such as uplift pressure cells, thermometers, piezometers, stress and strain meters, and coordimeters.
- Groundwater at the site was measured by installing a piezometer.
- Horizontal movement is measured by inclinometers, and multiple-point vibrating-wire piezometers provide information on groundwater pressure.
- The ground investigation included rotary coring, self-boring expansion pressuremeters, self-boring load cells, self-boring permeaters, vibrating-wire piezometers, and the instrumented drilling tests.

Origin

Early 19th century: from Greek piezein 'press, squeeze' + -meter.
