The Soil Constant Head Permeameter is a specialized laboratory instrument used to determine the coefficient of permeability of granular soils, gravel, and sand. It is designed for soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering laboratories.
Working Principle
The apparatus operates using the constant head permeability test method. Water flows through a soil specimen inside a transparent acrylic permeability cell from a constant level water tank. Pressure differences at different levels are measured through manometer tubes connected to pressure take-off points.
This method helps evaluate the water permeability characteristics of granular soil samples.
Key Features
- Designed for constant head permeability testing.
- Suitable for granular soil, gravel, and sand.
- Transparent acrylic permeability cell.
- Constant level water supply system.
- Multiple pressure take-off points.
- Graduated manometer tubes for pressure measurement.
- Durable aluminium anodized end plates.
- Suitable for geotechnical and soil mechanics laboratories.
