Geotextile Permeameter
Product Code : JA-GT-9862
The Geotextile Permeameter (SKU JA-GT-9862) determines the permittivity of geotextiles in the uncompressed state by constant head or falling head procedures. A specimen holder assembly for 73 mm and 100 mm diameter samples, with inlet and outlet valves and interconnecting tubes, is housed in a metal enclosure on a table, with a pump delivering de-aired water from a de-airing unit below the specimen holder. It is supplied by JaincoLab for geosynthetics and civil engineering laboratories.
Specifications
The permeameter has a specimen holder for 73 mm and 100 mm diameter samples with inlet and outlet valves, interconnecting tubes in a metal housing on a table and a pump supplying de-aired water; head range and de-airing capacity are not listed in the product data and are confirmed on the quotation.

Frequently asked questions
What property does it measure?
The permittivity of geotextiles in the uncompressed state.
Which specimen sizes fit?
73 mm and 100 mm diameter samples.
Why is de-aired water used?
Air bubbles would block pores; the pump supplies de-aired water from the de-airing unit.
