Advantages of ETC Falling Head Permeameter Kits:

  • Very light and easy to transport
  • Inexpensive – “do it yourself” and reduce reliance on outside materials testing labs
  • Very fast – A test on most sands can usually be completed in only 10 to 30 minutes. Multiple tests can be done at the site in a short span of time.
  • A small amount of water is needed (typically 2 L per test).

  • Calculations are made easy using ETC’s Quick Reference Chart.
