What is permeability test equipment?

Soil permeability test equipment from Gester includes a wide range of permeameters for testing all soil types. Our line of soil permeability testing equipment produces accurate, repeatable results and meets the requirements of many ASTM and AASHTO test methods.


Permeability specimens may be prepared directly from undisturbed field samples or by remolding or compacting soil materials in the laboratory. Some tests have provisions for either method. The use of soil permeability values for different applications and soil types has resulted in a number of different methods and equipment variations for testing, but all share the principles of Darcy's Law, an equation describing the movement of fluid through a porous medium.


Flexible Wall permeability test equipment allows soil permeability characteristics to be studied when pressure and flow properties are carefully controlled. This test is often used on fine-grained cohesive soils in environmental applications. Specimens encased in latex membranes are tested in fluid-filled pressurized chambers following ASTM D5084 test methods.

ASTM / AASHTO Constant Head Permeameters determine the permeability of granular soils by the constant head method described in ASTM D2434 and AASHTO T 215. The permeameters have anodized aluminum end caps with clear acrylic chambers.


Constant / Falling Head Permeability Test Sets contain the components needed to determine the permeability of flow through granular soils. The sets come with size-specific products that include a permeameter, Single-Tube Manometer with Constant Head Reservoir, and Porous Stones or Perforated Plates based on permeameter size.


Double-Ring Permeameters meet requirements of ASTM D5856 for testing compacted soils in standard 4in (102mm) compaction (Proctor) molds. Compaction molds with soil are mounted on a special double-ring permeameter base with a stainless steel ring that divides the sample into two equal portions. Water is introduced through the top plate assembly and permeant flow through both the center and the perimeter of the sample is measured with two pipettes connected to the lower control valves. Apparatus is available with or without the 4in compaction mold included.


Double-Ring Infiltrometer measures in-place water infiltration into fine-grained soils according to ASTM D3385. Field studies are useful for environmental applications, drainage, irrigation requirements, and leakage from earthen containment structures. Stainless steel rings 12 and 24in (305 and 610mm) diameter and 20in (508mm) high are driven into the soil concentrically. Special Mariotte constant-head cylinders maintain water levels within the rings and measure the infiltration rate. The set includes the two stainless steel rings, a 0.5in (12.7mm) thick alloy aluminum driving cap that also serves as a cover, 3,000 and 10,000ml graduated plastic Mariotte cylinders with support stand, and rubber splash guards.


Pinhole Dispersion Apparatus simulates water flow along a crack in a soil sample to detect dispersive characteristics of the soil. The test results can be used in evaluating the stability of soils used in construction projects, thereby identifying potential safety issues.

How to choose a five-star hotel mattress suitable for healthy sleep?

When working outside on a business trip, the hotel is our homestay and residence, so how much do you know about the mattress es used in the hotel? How to choose a five-star hotel mattress suitable for healthy sleep? How to choose a five-star hotel mattress ? The hotel will set up different types of rooms according to different needs and uses of guests. The room classification standards of hotels in different regions, different levels, different types, and different brands are not uniform. There are single rooms, standard rooms, double rooms, suite rooms, apartment rooms, and presidential suites. In addition, some characteristic hotels have characteristic rooms. There are two ways to choose a hotel room mattress :  First, look at the elasticity of the mattress. In order to identify whether the mattress has good elasticity, you can use your knee to test the bed surface, or sit down in the corner of the bed and try to see if the compressed mattress will quickly return to its original shap

What Is Color Matching Booth?

What is color matching booth? Color Matching Booth is used to assess color difference under different light sources. Light booth for color matching is widely used in textiles, toys, dyeing, plastics, paints, inks, printing, pigments, chemicals, footwear, leather, cosmetics, etc. and other color industries for goods color deviation. Gester is Colour Matching Cabinet Manufacturer and supplies it in affordable price. Gester colour matching cabinet meets standard of ASTM D1729, ISO 3664 and etc. Find more color fastness tester here to complete your test! Principle: Different color would appear on test samples due to the different energy radiant of different light sources. Usually, colour matching cabinet would have TL84 light source, D65, UV, F/A, CWF, U30. More light sources like D50, U35, TL83 and etc are available. Operator may assess the color difference by switching the light sources. What lighting is best for color matching? The best "true daylight, color balanced" fluor
