09.07 Guelph Constant Head Permeameter
Guelph constant head permeameter for measurements to a depth of 15-75 cm, complete with field tripod, augers, well brush, water container, vacuum test hand pump, etc. in carrying case
- Eijkelkamp 09.07 Guelph Constant Head Permeameter is a ‘constant head’ permeameter that operates in accordance with the principle of the Mariotte bottle.
- After boring a hole the Guelph permeameter is placed. The water from the permeameter slowly flows into the auger hole and penetrates into the soil.
- At a certain moment, a saturated ‘bulb’ is formed and the out-flow of water from the storage cylinder reaches a constant value (that is measured).
These measuring data together with the diameter of the auger hole and the level of the water in the auger hole, are used to determine the (saturated) hydraulic conductivity of the soil. - The complete standard set, for measurement up to a depth of 75 cm, fits in a carrying bag and contains the Guelph permeameter, a tripod, drill bits, a vacuum test manual pump, a fold-up jerry can and various accessories.
