High pressure dilatometer
High pressure dilatometer
The Ménard pressuremeter widely used in France is an example of a pre-bored device. In the UK the High Pressure Dilatometer (the terms “dilatometer” and “pressuremeter” are interchangeable in this context) is available and is used in rocks, hostile materials such as boulder clay, and dense sands.
