Soil Permeability Apparatus - (SICSPA-Intro)

We are leading manufacturer and exporter of Permeability Apparatus - (PR-01) and our product is made up of good quality.

In soil machines, Permeability is one of the important Engineering properties, as it governs the rate of settlement of saturated compressible soil layer and rate of flow of aquifer.

Permeability is that property of soil which permits flow of water through its interconnecting voids.

The instrument to measure permeability is called permeameter. The results are used for pumping groundwater, for foundation sites excavations, the design of dams etc.

Tests can be performed on remolded or undisturbed samples using the constant head or falling head method.

The apparatus is used for the laboratory determination of permeability of soils using a constant or a variable head. This test is recommended for soils with co-efficient of permeability in the range of 10 x -3 to 10 x -7cm/sec. The maximum particle size of the soil which can be tested in the mould is 10 mm.
