A FLUID SETTLEMENT GAUGE

AN APPARATUS IS DESCRIBED FOR DETERMINING VERTICAL SETTLEMENTS BY MEASURING THE HYDROSTATIC PRESSURES IN A FLEXIBLE FLUID-FILLED HOSE POSITIONED HORIZONTALLY BENEATH AN ENGINEERING STRUCTURE. THE PRESSURES ARE MEASURED WITH A TORPEDO CONTAINING A PRESSURE TRANSDUCER WHICH IS PULLED THROUGH THE HOSE, ENABLING SETTLEMENTS TO BE MEASURED CONTINUOUSLY ALONG ITS LENGTH. AS IT IS WITHDRAWN AFTER EACH SURVEY IT CAN BE USED FOR ANY NUMBER OF INSTALLATIONS. /CGRA/
