Constant Head Tank System

25-0568

ting valve for flow control of water. A porous media is used at the bottom of the tank to filter out air bubbles.The unit maintains a constant water head by utilizing an overflow port. It also allows for connection to a tap water or de-aired water source. A wall mounting support, consisting of two rails with adjustable height brackets and tubing for connection between the tank and permeameter is included.The system consists of an acrylic tank with regulating valve for flow control of water. A porous media is used at the bottom of the tank to filter out air bubbles.

Wall Mounted Manometer Panel

valving mounted on an aluminum rail with a 100 cm long dualgraduated scale. Each tube has its own valve, making it possible to run two independent permeability tests.

Combination Permeameter, 2.5" (63.4 mm)

•Plated steel chamber head assembly•Corrosion-resistant cast aluminum base assembly•Includes accessories for conducting both constant and falling head permeability studiesThis combination permeameter has a transparent plastic chamber for soil specimens of either fine-grained or coarse-grained soils. Generally, soils containing 10 percent or more particles passing a 75 μm sieve are tested using the falling head assembly. More granular soils, containing 90 percent or more particles retained on the 75 μm sieve, are tested using the constant headassembly.The cell is sealed at the top so that a vacuum may be used to saturate the specimen. Porous stones located at the top and bottom of the cell prevent sample flaking or washout. For constant head tests, a plastic funnel reservoir is mounted on an upright attached to the cell, providing a maximum head of 550 mm. Falling head tests are performed using the graduated pipette falling head reservoir, which gives a maximum head of 1000 mm and is graduated 0.2 ml.
