09.03 Hauben water permeameter

Soil & CropsLaboratory Soil Physical Research

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. 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.
