EID210 DEMONSTRATION APPARATUS FOR INFILTRATION Fluid Mechanics Laboratory Vocational Training Equipment
The infiltration rate of a soil is an important quantity for the design of an irrigation system. This parameter may vary from one soil to another and depends on soil structure and moisture conditions. The Infiltration Demonstration Device, EID210, provides a simple but effective way to observe these complex processes.
It allows:
to compare infiltration rates in different types of soil,
to determine the surface effects on infiltration.
The EID210 Infiltration Demonstration Apparatus has 3 pyrex glass tubes in which the soil samples are placed, the base of the tubes being equipped with a perforated plate that can retain the materials while allowing the water to flow. A known volume of water is introduced into each tube and the progress of the infiltration inside the samples is observed. Each cylinder is graduated. A stopwatch supplied with the device allows measurement of infiltration rates.
DESCRIPTION
The apparatus consists of:
Graduated glass cylinders
Soil samples
Collecting container
Stand with adjustable feet
The appliance must be located near an inlet and a water outlet.
Dimensions
Overall dimensions: 510 x 400 x 950 mm
