If you're doing a number of K-sat tests in a laboriously and time consuming manner think about a faster better way. The 2828 Saturated Soil Permeability System is your answer to those needs. The knowledge of soil saturated flow and its movement in soil is important for planning irrigation runoff and drainage limits or any other agricultural, environmental and hydrological research studies that deal with rainy and wet conditions. Knowing the air / water relationships that effect permeability and flow through a soil determines ponding and outflows of watersheds and wetlands for instance.

Durable construction, burettes, reservoir, recirculation pump all make it a complete system, just add water. Features include adjustable head heights of 2mm to 20mm, constant or falling head measurements. In the “closed system” configuration, one may use special test fluids or specific water qualities to investigate K-Sat. In the “open system,” only water is used and a separate water supply is required.

The models 2828K10 or 2828K25 are laboratory test sets for the measurement of Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity (K-Sat) on undisturbed cores of 2.08 inch (53mm) or 2.36 inch (60 mm) diameters. The undisturbed cores can be taken in soil sample rings with the soil sample ring kit 0199K1. The 2828K10 set-up handles up to 10 cores samples simultaneously or the 2828K25 can handle up to 25 individual core samples.
