The Model 4615 Hydraulic Overflow Settlement System is designed to measure settlement in fills or in the embankment of a dam. The system consists of a sealed settlement cell connected via tubing to a remote water readout (the settlement cell and readout must be installed at the same elevation to ensure proper system functionality). Settlement cells are available in 2.5 L (Model 4615-1), 5 L (Model 4615-2), and 10 L (Model 4615-3) capacities.

A reading is taken by pumping water through the overflow pipe inside the settlement cell and letting the level in the water readout stabilize to the same elevation as the overflow pipe. Settlement can be measured to the millimeter using the graduated scale, located behind the sight tube, to read the water level inside.
