Features
The PR16 Lab Permeameter is an accurate and fully automated laboratory system for measuring soil
core saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat). The PR16 is capable of performing Ksat measurement
according to Falling-Head Method and also Constant-Head Method procedures. Thanks to the Monitor®
Precision Pressure Transducer, and the Chameleon Software Application, both measurement methods
are fully automated. The PR16 comes with all required components (computer is NOT included in the
standard kits).
Applications:
Laboratory hydraulic conductivity measurement is a very common measurement method used in
educational applications, agricultural research, irrigation projects, construction projects, mining sites
studies, oil industry, environmental studies, geological studies and more.
