The HMA LAB SUPPLY PE-4500 Sand and Gravel Permeameter (4.5inch) is a reliable and efficient tool for determining the permeability of sands and gravels. This permeability information is crucial in assessing the drainage and porosity characteristics of materials, which in turn assist in the design and placement of asphalt pavement.
Designed to conform to ASTM D2434 guidelines, this permeameter employs the constant head method to accurately measure the permeability of soils, sands, and gravels. It consists of a Permeameter, a manometer panel that measures the flow-rate of water, a constant head tank that provides a steady water source, and a stopwatch to accurately time the tests.
To ensure the accuracy of the results, the inside of the cylinder at each port is meticulously machined out and lined with a #100 mesh stainless steel screen. This prevents the outward migration of fines during the test, maintaining the integrity of the sample. Additionally, a spring inside the top is utilized to apply a specific amount of force (between 5-10 pounds) against the top sample porous stone or screen, preventing any alterations in material density during the test.
The Sand and Gravel Permeameter from HMA LAB SUPPLY is designed specifically with a 4.5-inch size, making it suitable for conducting permeability tests on materials that fall in this range. It ensures easy handling and precise measurements, allowing for accurate analysis and assessment of permeability characteristics.
Whether you are a geotechnical engineer, a soil scientist, or a researcher in the field of materials testing, the HMA LAB SUPPLY PE-4500 Sand and Gravel Permeameter (4.5inch) is a reliable and essential tool for obtaining vital permeability information. Invest in this permeameter and enhance your testing capabilities, resulting in improved asphalt pavement design and placement.
