Boutwell Test Permeameter Kit
The permeameter kit is a tool designed to characterize hydraulic conductivity or determine the coefficient of permeability (k) directly in situ.
The system is particularly suitable for falling head tests, ideal for fine-grained soils with low hydraulic conductivity. Use on coarse-grained soils is theoretically possible but involves greater practical challenges.
Kit Components
- Stainless steel cylinder, 100 mm in diameter, sealed at the top with a PVC cap
- PVC cap equipped with fittings and valves for filling, air release, and burette connection
- Two burettes with different capacities for easy readings across various soil types
- Flexible connection tubes for linking the system components
- Auger with diameter compatible with the cylinder for ground insertion
