Solinst 615 Drive-Point Piezometer
P/N Solinst615DrivePointPiezometer
 The Model 615 Drive-Point Piezometer is designed as an affordable method to monitor shallow groundwater and soil vapor in suitable conditions.
NPT steel drive pipe which is widely available through local
plumbing and hardware stores.
Solinst Drive-Point Piezometers are most often installed
as permanent well points. They can also be used for short
term monitoring applications.
High quality samples can be obtained if polyethylene
or TeflonŽ lined tubing is attached to the stainless steel
drive point. Groundwater sampling and hydraulic head
measurements can be taken within the tubing using small
diameter equipment, as described overleaf.
Solinst Drive-Point Piezometers can be driven into the ground
with any direct push or drilling technology, including the
Manual Slide Hammer shown at right. To avoid clogging or
smearing of the screen during installation, a shielded version is
also available.
 615 Drive-Point Piezometer Brochure
High Quality Samples:
The Model 615 Piezometer has a stainless steel, 50 mesh
cylindrical filter-screen, within a 3/4" (20 mm) stainless steel
drive-point body, screen support and a barbed fitting for
attachment of sample tubing. Optional heavy-duty extension
couplings are also available to create a strengthened and more
rugged piezometer.
The inner barbed fitting allows connection of 5/8" OD
x 1/2" ID (16 mm x 12 mm) LDPE or Teflon sample tubing.
This prevents sample water from contacting the steel
extension rods, and maintains high sample integrity, even
when inexpensive carbon steel extensions are used.
Ideal for soil vapor sampling. Where an air-tight connection is
most desirable, the compression fitting option allows users to
attach 1/4" (6 mm) sample tubing directly to the top of the
screened portion of the drive-point.
The 615 S shielded drive-point has a single use, 1-1/2"
(38 mm) dia. shield to avoid smearing and plugging of the
screen during installation. The strengthened connector at the
top of the drive-point acts as an annular seal, which avoids
contamination from higher levels in the hole.
The 615 N, designed without a tubing barb, is to be used for
water level measurements. This saves money and provides
better access for Water Level Meters.

Manual Slide Hammer :
For the most inexpensive wellpoint
installations, the Manual Slide Hammer
can be used to install the Solinst Drive-
Point Piezometers. The 25lb (11Kg)
slide hammer and all other equipment
can easily be transported in a car or
truck to most sites.
A heavy duty drive head is used, on
which the slide hammer impacts, and a
tubing by-pass ensures that the tubing
does not get damaged during installation.
Depth Limitations:
Drive-point piezometers are not suitable
for all sites. The depth limitations vary,
especially with soil conditions and the
drive method used.
 Applications:
- Groundwater sampling, including VOCs
- Water level monitoring
- Base flow monitoring in stream beds
- Contaminant plume delineations
- Soil gas sampling
- UST monitoring
- Low cost and minimal disturbance site assessment
- Sparge points
