09.11 Ksat Constant Head Permeameter

Soil & CropsSoild Hydraulic Conductivity Test

The Ksat constant head permeameter is an instrument that provides the means to collect data for determining in situ saturated hydraulic conductivity of the vadose (unsaturated) zone easily and conveniently. The measuring procedure is known as constant head well permeameter technique, shallow well pump-in method or borehole infiltration test. Before the equipment is used a hole is augered (the bottom of the hole must be plane (use the Riverside auger).
