Used to determine the permeability of granular, gravel and sand
soils. The specimen is formed in an acrylic permeability cell, and
water is passed through it from a constant level tank.
The permeability cell has pressure points at different levels which
are connected to the manometer tubes fixed on a stand with graduated
scale. Two constant head permeability cells are available:
75 mm and 114 mm diameter.
