Rapid and accurate measurement of soil hydraulic conductivity for landfill monitoring, hydrological investigations, drainage systems, and soil erosion studies.

Guelph Pressure Infiltrometer

• The Guelph Permeameter from Soilmoisture Equipment for the measurement of in-situ hydraulic conductivity.

The PR80 (2800K1) Guelph Permeameter is a constant-head permeameter. Based on the Mariotte bubble tower principle the PR80 provides a quick and simple method for determining

• Field saturated hydraulic conductivity,

• Matric flux potential,

• The alpha-star (a*) parameter,

• Soil sorptivity in the field.

Quick Deployment

• Measurements can be taken 30 minutes to two hours after installation, depending on soil type, and only requiring 2.5 litres of water. These measurements can be made at depths between 15 cm to 75 cm below the soil surface. Optional extensions are available in 80 cm lengths, to allow measurements at a maximum of 315 cm.
