Perforated pipe? Any ideas?
Thanks.

aka "Chinese lantern" (which is new to me):
Pressuremeter equipment consists of an expandable cylindrical probe, inner rubber membrane, pressure lines, and an outer SLOTTED TUBE OR CHINESE LANTERN. The pressuremeter probe may consist of either one cell or three cells that are hydraulically or pneumatically expanded to obtain a pressure versus volume curve or pressure versus radial strain curve. The inner rubber membrane is expanded at a specific test depth, and the outer slotted tube or Chinese screen expands with the membrane. The slotted tube or screen protects the membrane from punctures induced by gravel or other sharp objects.
