Description
HSM-2100
Guelph Permeameter Kit (2800K1)
The Guelph Permeameter is an easy-to-use instrument that can quickly and accurately measure in-situ hydraulic conductivity.
Accurate evaluation of soil hydraulic conductivity, soil sorptivity, and matrix flux potential can be made in all types of soils.
Features:
- One person can easily transport, assemble, and operate the equipment.
- Measurements can be made in 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on soil type, and require only about 2.5 litres of water.
- Measurements can be made in the range of 15 to 75cm below the soil surface.
The complete kit includes:
- (1) Permeameter,
- (1) Field tripod,
- (1) Well auger,
- (1) Well preparation and cleanup tools,
- (1) Collapsible water container,
- (1) Vacuum test hand pump,
- (1) Durable carrying case.
Accessory attachments are available to extend the measurement capability of the permeameter. Depth attachments increase the depth of operation by 80 cm.
Refer to the instruction manual for a complete list of components and auxiliary tools.
