AELAB Soil Permeameter TPST-55

The Soil Permeameter TPST-55 is designed for precise measurement of the permeability of clayey soils under varying water head conditions. This instrument is perfect for testing a range of soil types, including sand, non-cohesive soil, and soil with small amounts of gravel. Engineered to meet industry standards, the TPST-55 delivers reliable permeability results with high accuracy.

The TPST-55 includes several key components such as an upper cover, base, socket, ring knife, permeable stone, and screw. However, it does not include water supply equipment. During the test, the soil sample is placed in the device, a water head is applied, and the amount of water that escapes through the sample is measured. This provides a permeability coefficient based on the observed data.

Features:

• Accurate Testing: Measures soil permeability under variable water head conditions, ideal for clayey, sandy, and non-cohesive soils.

• Strong and Reliable Construction: Built with high-quality materials including permeable stone, sealing ring, and screw to ensure a secure setup and accurate results.

• Standard Sample Size: Designed for a sample size of φ 61.8mm and height of 40mm (30cm²).

• User-Friendly Operation: Simple test procedure with easy sample preparation and straightforward calculation of permeability coefficients.

• Durable Design: Built for long-term use with special attention to the maintenance of key components like the sealing ring and earth cutting ring knife.

• Portable and Compact: The instrument’s compact size (φ 118mm x 155mm high) and weight of about 5kg make it easy to transport for both field and laboratory testing.
