Standard EN Sample
Geotechnical Investigation and Testing: Field Testing, Full Displacement Pressuremeter Test
Also Known As:
BS EN ISO 22476-8:2018 is a standard that provides guidelines for conducting and reporting full displacement pressuremeter (FDP) tests in the field. The purpose of this standard is to outline the equipment requirements, execution, and reporting procedures for FDP tests.
The FDP test involves the measurement of soil or weak rock deformation in situ by using a cylindrical flexible membrane that expands or contracts under pressure. This test is a part of geotechnical investigation services as specified in EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2.
The standard sets out the procedures for conducting FDP tests, including the preparation of the test equipment, installation of the pressuremeter, and the application of pressure to the membrane. It also provides guidance on the interpretation of test results and the reporting of the findings.
