The Guelph
Permeameter is used to obtain accurate measurements of hydraulic conductivity,
soil sorbtivity and soil matrix flux potential. These three factors govern how
liquid move through an unsaturated soil profile.
Recent
significant advances in both the theoretical and the practical techniques of
measuring the soil hydraulic conductivity have been made by the University of
Guelph. This has resulted in the development of the Guelph Permeameter
uitlizing the Constant Head Well Principle.

This lightweight
instrument is portable, reliable and simple to use. Depending on the soil type,
accurate results can be obtained in 1 to 2 hours using only 2.5 litres of
water. Measurements can be made in the range of 15 to 75 cm below the
soil surface.
The Guelph Permeameter is a complete kit consisting of
the permeameter, field tripod, well auger, well preparation and cleanup tools,
collapsible water container, and vacuum test hand pump, all packaged in a
durable carrying case. Accessory attachments are available for extending the
measurement capability of the permeameter. Depth attachments increase the depth
of operation by 80 cm. The maximum practical operating depth is 315 cm
