The field saturated hydraulic conductivity (Kfs) or permeability of in situ soil and constructed fill materials can be quickly and easily measured “in-place” using the ETC Pask Constant Head Permeameter.
The ETC Constant Head Permeameter is a much faster and more accurate method of assessing the hydraulic capacity of a soil than the outdated, and often very time consuming, percolation test.
The ETC Pask Permeameter works with almost any soil type from loams and sands to clays, even built-up beds of imported septic fill or compacted clay liners for lagoons and landfills.
Our permeameter is based on the peer-reviewed, Constant Head Well Permeameter method, described by Reynolds and Elrick, formerly of the University of Guelph, Canada.
