The new IN17-W - Turf-Tec Heavy Duty 12 Inch Diameter Driving Plate is specially designed to be used with the Turf-Tec Heavy Duty 12 Inch Diameter Infiltration Ring (IN16-W)
The Turf-Tec Heavy Duty 12 Inch Diameter Driving Plate is used by first placing the IN16-W - Turf-Tec Heavy Duty 12 Inch Diameter Infiltration ring on the area to be tested, and then placing this 1/2" thick steel driving plate (IN17-W) on top of the ring and driving the ring into the soil. The infiltration ring can then be filled with water and then the infiltration rate can be determined by timing the amount of time it takes the water to go into the soil.
You can also add an optional Mariotte Tube to the Turf-Tec Heavy Duty 12 Inch Diameter Infiltration Ring to maintain a constant head of water in the rings for prolonged testing.
Mariotte Tubes are also available and highly recommended to maintain constant head pressure - Purchased separately.
