Measures the hydraulic conductivity of saturated 6" (152mm) diameter asphalt cores or laboratory-compacted specimens using the falling head method
Based on procedures developed at Florida DOT - FM 5-565
4" version does not meet Florida standard
A self-contained manual pump provides a vacuum to draw the membrane against the cylinder during sample placement, as well as pressurizes the membrane during testing to fill voids and eliminate flow down the outside of the specimen
A dial gauge displays pressure applied by the hand pump. Permeability of the prepared specimen is determined by the timing flow of water from the included 500cc Manometer through the sample
Two Latex Membranes are included - Additional membranes can be purchased HERE
