Description

Air permeability is the property of the soil pore system that allows air to flow through. The air permeameter apparatus measures this permeability, or conductance, of an (undisturbed) soil sample. Suitable for sample sizes Ø 53x50 h 51 mm, Ø 0x56 h 40.5 mm, and Ø 103x100 h 30 mm.

Applications

  • Erosion, drainage, irrigation
  • Geo-Hydrologic research
  • Environmental research
  • Basic material research

User groups

  • Research institutes
  • Educational institutes
  • Laboratories
  • Universities

The apparatus was developed in cooperation with Christian Albrechts University Kiel in Germany, a leading institution in soil compaction research. Read the interview with Prof. Horn of Kiel University for more information.
