Permeameter

A permeameter is a scientific instrument used to measure the permeability of materials, particularly soils and rocks. Permeability refers to how easily fluids, like water or air, can flow through a material. The test helps determine how well a material can transmit fluids, which is important in fields like agriculture, environmental science, and civil engineering. By understanding permeability, experts can make informed decisions on water drainage, construction projects, and groundwater management. The permeameter works by allowing a fluid to pass through a sample and measuring the flow rate, providing vital information about the material’s properties.
