Overview
The Heron dipper-T is renowned for its premium, polyethylene-coated yellow steel tape accuracy in measuring depth to water. Available in your choice of either metric or engineering scale.
Functions
The dipper-T water level meter can be conveniently converted into a multi-functional instrument:
- Static mode is used for measuring the depth of water in wells, boreholes and standpipes.
- DrawDown mode is used for measuring falling water levels during purging, well development and for low flow sampling.
- The Well Depth Indicator Probe (or bottom detector) is used to measure the full depth in wells and boreholes. The Well Depth Indicator Probe uses a pressure-sensitive plunger to measure the distance to the bottom of the well. When the Well Depth Indicator Probe reaches the bottom of the well, the plunger enters the probe body closing a switch, and initiating an audible and visual signal at the top of the well.
- The Well Casing Indicator Probe is used to measure the depth of metal casing in wells and boreholes from two inches in diameter and upward. The Well Casing Indicator Probe works using magnetism. While the probe sits within the magnetic field of the steel casing, an auditory and visual signal is active. When the probe leaves the magnetic field, the signal stops. Note the condition of the well for accurate readings.
