Permeability Test Apparatus for Granular Soils

Permeability Test Apparatus for Granular Soils

The unit is ideal for determining co-efficient of permeability of granular soils by a constant head method and under conditions of laminar flow of water. The unit is suitable for disturbed granular soil containing less than 10% soil passing through 75 micron sieve.

The apparatus consists of a acrylic chamber with approximate diameter of 350mm and length about 600mm, plugged at both ends by porous plates. Monometer is provided for head measurement between two points in the acrylic chamber. Arrangement is also provided for constant head.
