The Aardvark
permeameter is a fully automated constant-head borehole permeameter to measure
soil hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) and other related parameters like sorptivity
and percolation in the field. The set can be installed easily and can be used
to a depth of 15 m.
The Aardvark permeameter is battery-operated and the only
fully automated Constant-
Head Borehole Permeameter. It automatically measures soil
hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) and other related parameters likesorptivity and
percolation (Perc) rate.
