Geosynthetics Horizontal Penetration Tester


The geosynthetic material horizontal permeability tester simulates water flow conditions in actual engineering projects to measure the material's horizontal permeability coefficient and hydraulic conductivity, thus evaluating its drainage performance.

Application

Used to determine the horizontal permeability of geosynthetics under constant head flow conditions. Under the conditions of hydraulic gradient and contact material, the normal pressure is changed to measure the water flow in the plane of geotextile and its related products.
