Strictement, le tube ne doit être ouvert qu'à sa base, ou n’ être crépiné que sur une faible hauteur, et la partie non perforée du tube doit être parfaitement collée au terrain(piézomètre ponctuel), pour que l'altitude du plan d’eau mesuré ait la signification d’une hauteur piézométrique se rapportant bien à une profondeur donnée. Plus largement, un piézomètre, crépiné sur une grande hauteur, ou toute la hauteur de l'aquifère, équivaut à un puits d’observation(cas d’une nappe libre surtout). 3, record 15, French, - piezom%C3%A8tre
