09.03 Hauben water permeameter

The Hauben water permeameter apparatus is a laboratory test method for establishing the coefficient of permeability or hydrologic conductance of water (vertically) through an undisturbed water-saturated soil sample.

The method is suitable for fine-grained soil, especially silt and clay.
 

This equipment measures the soil permeability in accordance with NEN 5124, EN17892-11 and ASTM D5084 - 10 Laboratory determination of permeability of soil by the falling head method considering the following restrictions:

  • No physical sample load restricting sample swelling;
  • Falling head height max 300 mm;
  • Scale interval reading 5 mm; 
  • Please consult instrument specification for detailed information in case of accreditation.

The principle of the measurement is based on the ‘Falling Head Method’. A head of water is superimposed on the undisturbed water-saturated soil sample.

The water will flow through with a certain speed per unit time
