Laboratory Permeability Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : JA-ST-9813
The Laboratory Permeability Apparatus (SKU JA-ST-9813) measures the coefficient of permeability of soil directly in a permeameter. Permeability governs how fast saturated compressible layers settle and how fast water moves through an aquifer, and a direct test on a small specimen is quicker and more reliable than estimating it from particle size or consolidation data. Two permeameter types are listed: falling head and constant head.
Specifications
The two permeameter types suit different soils:
| Product | Laboratory Permeability Apparatus |
| SKU | JA-ST-9813 |
| Falling Head Permeameter | Remoulded or undisturbed fine-grained soils with a coefficient of permeability below 10^-2 cm/s |
| Constant Head Permeameter | Coarse-grained, cohesionless soils |
| Result | Coefficient of permeability by direct laboratory measurement |
Applications of the soil permeability apparatus
- Falling head tests on clays and silts for settlement and seepage studies
- Constant head tests on sands and gravels for drainage and filter design
- Permeability of compacted fill for earth dams and embankments
- Soil mechanics practicals in civil engineering courses
Scope of supply and ordering
Choose the falling head type, the constant head type, or both; the listing covers the permeameter apparatus.
Frequently asked questions
When is the falling head permeameter used?
For remoulded or undisturbed fine-grained soils whose coefficient of permeability is below 10^-2 cm/s.
When is the constant head permeameter used?
For coarse-grained cohesionless soils such as sands.
Why measure permeability directly?
Permeability depends on many factors, so a direct permeameter test is considered more accurate than working it out from particle size, porosity or consolidation results.
