What is permeability test equipment?

Soil permeability test equipment from Gester includes a wide range of permeameters for testing all soil types. Our line of soil permeability testing equipment produces accurate, repeatable results and meets the requirements of many ASTM and AASHTO test methods.


Permeability specimens may be prepared directly from undisturbed field samples or by remolding or compacting soil materials in the laboratory. Some tests have provisions for either method. The use of soil permeability values for different applications and soil types has resulted in a number of different methods and equipment variations for testing, but all share the principles of Darcy's Law, an equation describing the movement of fluid through a porous medium.


Flexible Wall permeability test equipment allows soil permeability characteristics to be studied when pressure and flow properties are carefully controlled. This test is often used on fine-grained cohesive soils in environmental applications. Specimens encased in latex membranes are tested in fluid-filled pressurized chambers following ASTM D5084 test methods.

ASTM / AASHTO Constant Head Permeameters determine the permeability of granular soils by the constant head method described in ASTM D2434 and AASHTO T 215. The permeameters have anodized aluminum end caps with clear acrylic chambers.


Constant / Falling Head Permeability Test Sets contain the components needed to determine the permeability of flow through granular soils. The sets come with size-specific products that include a permeameter, Single-Tube Manometer with Constant Head Reservoir, and Porous Stones or Perforated Plates based on permeameter size.


Double-Ring Permeameters meet requirements of ASTM D5856 for testing compacted soils in standard 4in (102mm) compaction (Proctor) molds. Compaction molds with soil are mounted on a special double-ring permeameter base with a stainless steel ring that divides the sample into two equal portions. Water is introduced through the top plate assembly and permeant flow through both the center and the perimeter of the sample is measured with two pipettes connected to the lower control valves. Apparatus is available with or without the 4in compaction mold included.


Double-Ring Infiltrometer measures in-place water infiltration into fine-grained soils according to ASTM D3385. Field studies are useful for environmental applications, drainage, irrigation requirements, and leakage from earthen containment structures. Stainless steel rings 12 and 24in (305 and 610mm) diameter and 20in (508mm) high are driven into the soil concentrically. Special Mariotte constant-head cylinders maintain water levels within the rings and measure the infiltration rate. The set includes the two stainless steel rings, a 0.5in (12.7mm) thick alloy aluminum driving cap that also serves as a cover, 3,000 and 10,000ml graduated plastic Mariotte cylinders with support stand, and rubber splash guards.


Pinhole Dispersion Apparatus simulates water flow along a crack in a soil sample to detect dispersive characteristics of the soil. The test results can be used in evaluating the stability of soils used in construction projects, thereby identifying potential safety issues.

rufio costume

I \'ve been making Halloween costumes for my brother for years, and the challenge this year is Rufio in the movie Hook. Here you will find all the steps to make this outfit and I hope you like it! Supply: Black artificial leather, black canvas fabric, fusible interface, red fabric, black thread, black embroidery thread, sewing machine, wood beads, embroidery needle, scissors, iron, drill pin, colored pencil and paper. I first watched the movie Hook and outlined the idea of how the jacket should be constructed. Once I had a decent sketch and had a good idea of how to make it, I started making the pattern. Because the dress was made for my brother, I used him as a model and put a few pieces of scrap cloth on him with a pin to make the shape of the jacket. Once the shape is implemented and all the seams are marked, I transfer this design to the paper pattern. Before I used any of my good fabrics, I made a sample jacket for the test fit. Once it was decided to fit, I started cutting th...

10 Tips to Ordering Kitchen Cabinets Online

1. Choose an established kitchen cabinet supplier Look for a supplier that's been around for some time. An established supplier will have years of experience and have gained plenty of valuable information about kitchen cabinets and kitchen design. That will make it easy for them to give you advice when it comes to choosing the right cabinets for your home. Also, a custom kitchen cabinet supplier that's been around for some time means the business is likely to be stable and enjoys a good track record. So you won't have to worry too much about being scammed into buying poor quality products. 2. Check the company's quality control system and manufacturing capabilities Find suppliers who actually make kitchen cabinets. Quality suppliers should be able to consistently produce products that meet or exceed customer expectations. The only reliable way to check a supplier's capabilities is to visit the production facility in person or through a third-party agent. Reputable ...
