Product Description

Intelligent Fully Automatic 4‑gang Variable Head Permeameter

Intelligent Fully Automatic 4‑Gang Variable Head Permeameter 0

Description

The BTU-CVP-4 intelligent fully automatic 4-gang variable head permeameter is a laboratory apparatus used to determine the permeability coefficient of sandy soils or soil‑aggregate mixtures. It features a 4-gang structure allowing simultaneous variable head permeability tests on four soil specimens. The instrument includes a built‑in multi‑channel data acquisition unit and dedicated post-processing software for automated data collection and analysis.

Test Standards

l ASTM D2434(Standard test method for permeability of granular soils)

l ASTM D5084(Standard test methods for measurement of hydraulic conductivity of soils using variable head)

l ISO 17892-11(Geotechnical laboratory testing- Determination of permeability)

l GB/T 50123-2019(Standard for geotechnical testing method- Variable head permeability section)

Detail

l Permeability cell: Includes cell, cell base, upper pressure piston, fixing bracket, etc.

l Anti-particle loss design: The base is equipped with a 3-way 2-position ball valve and a hand‑tightened reaction device to prevent loss of coarse particles during testing.

l Water supply system: A micro pump automatically fills the 2 L water tank to maintain a stable head.

l Water level measuring panel: Two sets of acrylic water level tubes (20 mm diameter) allow clear reading of head height (0-600 mm).

l Automated data acquisition: Built-in multi-channel acquisition unit simultaneously records permeability data from 4 channels, reducing manual errors.

l Post-processing software: Dedicated software for data management, permeability coefficient calculation, and report generation.

Application

  • Determination of permeability coefficients of sandy soils and gravel‑sand mixtures
  • Permeability studies for earth dams, roadbeds, embankments, and other engineering structures
  • Evaluation of seepage characteristics of coarse‑grained soils used as fill materials
  • Teaching and research in university geotechnical laboratories
  • Obtaining permeability parameters in geotechnical site investigations

Advantages

l 4-gang high efficiency: Tests up to 4 specimens simultaneously, greatly improving testing throughput – ideal for batch testing.

l Suitable for coarse-grained soils: Specifically designed for sandy soils and mixtures, overcoming clogging or particle loss issues common in conventional permeameters.

l High-precision head measurement: 1 mm resolution, ±0.3% FS accuracy ensures reliable data.

l Highly automated: Built‑in acquisition unit + software for real‑time head monitoring and automatic k‑value calculation.

l Anti-loss design: Hand-tightened reaction device and 3‑way ball valve effectively prevent fine particles from being washed away.

l Large specimen size: Φ100mm* 100mm specimen provides a more representative sample for coarse‑grained soils.

What To Choose

Requirement Recommendation
Multiple sandy soil specimens need simultaneous testing 4-gang structure- tests 4 samples in one run
Coarse-grained or gravelly soils Anti-particle loss design; dedicated structure prevents clogging and fines loss
Automation and data accuracy required Built-in acquisition unit + software reduces human error and automatically calculates k-value
University or laboratory batch testing High efficiency, stable performance-suitable for teaching and production testing
Need clear visual observation of head Acrylic water level tubes allow direct reading while the system automatically records
 

Process Flow

l Specimen preparation: Prepare a Φ100mm × 100mm sandy soil or mixture specimen according to standard procedures.

l Specimen installation: Place the specimen into the permeability cell, ensuring a good seal with no side leakage.

l System connection: Connect the water level tubes, water supply tank, 3‑way valve, and data acquisition unit.

l Saturation and degassing: Saturate the specimen using the water supply system and remove air bubbles from the lines.

l Set initial head: Set the initial water head height (within 0–600 mm range).

l Start test: Activate the pump to maintain head; the acquisition unit automatically records water level vs. time for all 4 channels.

l Calculate permeability coefficient: The software automatically computes the permeability coefficient for each specimen using the variable head formula.

l Generate report: Produce a test report including head‑time curves and permeability coefficient results.
