Comprehensive Accessories IncludedEach unit comes complete with flexible PVC tubing, fittings, measuring cylinders, and a sample preparation tray. Calibration certificates guarantee traceability, meeting recognized IS and ASTM standards for professional soil testing.
FAQs of Universal Or Combination Permeameter:
Q: How do I prepare soil specimens for testing with the Universal Permeameter?
A: The instrument includes a sample preparation tray designed for specimens sized 38 mm x 75 mm. Prepare up to four samples and follow IS 2720 (Part XVII) or ASTM D2434 guidelines for consistency before mounting them securely using the quick-release clamps.
Q: What safety features does the permeameter provide during operation?
A: For user safety, the permeameter is equipped with a pressure relief valve and over-current protection, ensuring secure handling during high-pressure or extended tests. Rugged construction further safeguards against accidental damage.
Q: When should I use the falling head versus the constant head method?
A: Use the falling head method for low permeability soils, such as clays or silts. The constant head method is ideal for higher permeability soils like sands. The universal design allows seamless switching based on your testing requirements.
Q: Where can data from the permeameter be retrieved or analyzed?
A: Test data can be viewed on analog or digital displays. Optional USB or RS232 output facilitates direct export to computers for further analysis, archiving, or compliance documentation.
Q: What process should I follow for calibration and compliance?
A: Each permeameter is supplied with a calibration certificate. Routine calibration should follow IS 2720 and ASTM D2434 standards to maintain accuracy and compliance for certification and results validity.
Q: How is usage maintained for optimal performance?
A: For optimal results, operate the permeameter within ambient temperature (5C40C) and humidity (up to 95% RH) ranges. Use the provided fittings, tubes, and measuring cylinders to ensure system integrity and reliable data acquisition.
Q: What are the main benefits of choosing this permeameter for soil permeability tests?
A: The permeameter offers adaptability, precision, compliance with international standards, reliable safety mechanisms, and comprehensive accessories. Its rugged design and semi-automatic features cater to routine laboratory and field testing, ensuring efficient, accurate, and traceable results.
