The soil water permeameter is used for measuring the saturated permeability of undisturbed soil samples in sample rings. The permeability factor (K-factor) gives accurate information about:
· The presence of disturbing soil layers which prevent a speedy outflow of precipitation.
· The correlation between permeability and other soil properties such as porosity, granular composition, etc.
· The vertical and horizontal permeability. With these data one can derive further conclusions for the benefit of:
· Irrigation and drainage systems.
· Well pumping.
· Subsidence phenomena.
· Predictions concerning the spread of polluting fluids resulting from calamities.
· Soil improvement- and maintenance advice.
Benefits Permeameters
· Determines permeability directly on samples
· Take samples in the field, analyse in the lab
· Can be used with various sizes of rings
· Types for large and small scale analyses
· Modernized electric measuring bridge
· Low in maintenance
· Closed system re-uses water over and over

Designs for 5 up to 25 soil sample rings can be supplied. The permeameters are available for soil sample rings with an external diameter of 53 or 60 mm.
For Undisturbed Soil Sampling that will be used in the Permeameter, you would require Soil Sampler Ring Type, (Model SE) is recommended for all types of soils.
