PRESSURE CELL

Soil-rock Interface Pressure Cell

This interface pressure cell is used to measure pressure between soil and rock or concrete interfaces. The pressure cell is designed similarly to other units, except a thicker diaphragm on rock/concrete side of the pressure pad, which minimises point-loading effects.
