Labmate Menard Pressure Meter measures pressure with range of 0 to 5.5 MPa during soil testing. They operate with manual hydraulic system and dial gauge display. Their probe is inserted into the borehole to apply vertical pressure through staged loading. They include a displacement sensor and a data logger for effective field recording. Our Menard Pressure Meter main settings are to determine soil deformability and strength for foundation assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
1 What is a Menard Pressure Meter?
A Menard Pressure Meter is an apparatus designed to measure soil deformation and strength parameters by applying radial pressure inside a borehole.
2 How does Menard Pressure Meter work?
It works by expanding a cylindrical probe inside a borehole to exert radial pressure on the soil and record the corresponding deformation.
3 How is Menard Pressure Meter used in foundation design?
It is is used in foundation design to determine in-situ bearing capacity and modulus of subgrade reaction, which helps in optimizing foundation size and type.
4 Can Menard Pressure Meter be used in seismic zone site investigations?
It is valuable in seismic zone investigations by helping assess the dynamic modulus and stress-strain behavior of soils under cyclic loads.
5 How does Menard Pressure Meter assist in tunnel construction projects?
It helps in tunnel construction by assessing soil deformation characteristics and lateral pressure response, which are critical for lining design and stability.
6 Is Menard Pressure Meter applicable for evaluating collapsible soils?
It is effective in evaluating collapsible soils by identifying non-linear stress-strain behavior and yielding points under incremental loading.
7 What is the role of Menard Pressure Meter in settlement prediction?
It is used in empirical or analytical settlement prediction models, improving accuracy of deformation forecasts.
8 Can Menard Pressure Meter be applied in rail infrastructure projects?
In rail projects, the Menard Pressure Meter evaluates subgrade stiffness and uniformity along the track alignment to prevent differential settlement and maintain track stability.
9 Is Menard Pressure Meter suitable for monitoring time-dependent soil behavior?
It is used in repeated or staged tests to observe time-dependent settlement and creep behavior in soft cohesive soils.
10 How is Menard Pressure Meter used in risk assessment for geotechnical hazards?
It is applied in geohazard risk assessment by identifying weak or compressible zones that may impact the stability of slopes, embankments, or foundations.
