Product details

The double ring Infiltrometer is a simple instrument which is used to determine the infiltration rate of water into the soil. The infiltration rate is determinate as the amount of water per surface area and time unit, which penetrates the soils. This rate can be calculated on the basis of the measurements and the DARCY's law. Several measurements can be executed simultaneously, yielding a very reliable and accurate mean result. As vertically infiltrated water runs away to the side. The outer ring of the Infiltrometer serves as a separation. The

measurement exclusively takes place in the inner ring through which the water runs virtually vertically. The instrument consists of two rings, driving plate, for inner and outer rings. The two rings are driven into the ground and partially filled with water. The double ring design helps prevent divergent flow in layered soils. The outer ring acts as a barrier to encourage only vertical flow from the inner ring. The standard set of the double ring Infiltrometer consist of 2 steel rings with different diameters, a hammer, floats, a stainless steel hammering cross and a stopwatch.

Frequently asked by buyers
How does the double ring design prevent divergent water flow during soil infiltration testing?

The outer ring acts as a barrier filled with water to prevent lateral flow, ensuring water in the inner ring infiltrates vertically, allowing accurate measurement of true infiltration rates.

Can the Double Ring Soil Infiltrometer be used simultaneously for multiple readings in the field?

Yes, multiple infiltrometers can be operated simultaneously to obtain reliable and averaged infiltration rates across different soil areas.

What is the significance of using steel for the rings and hammering cross in this infiltrometer?

Steel provides durability and resistance to corrosion and mechanical impacts, ensuring the instrument withstands rugged field use and maintains accuracy over time.

How is Darcy's law applied in calculating the infiltration rate with this device?

The infiltration rate is calculated as volume of water infiltrated per unit surface area per time, based on measurements taken, applying Darcy's law principles for fluid flow through porous media.

Is the Double Ring Soil Infiltrometer suitable for use in all soil types?

It is especially suitable for layered and heterogeneous soils, as its design prevents lateral water movement that can distort infiltration readings.
