hello,

does anyone have any information on where to get very thin ceramic discs... approx. 2.5mm thick for use in conjunction with pore pressure transducers to measure pore water pressures in a soil ( i.e. it seperates the effective stresses and pwp)... the ceramic must also have a high air entry walue... approx. 15 bar if possible.

thanks,

dave
