Tests are carried out on specimens prepared from undisturbed samples. Data obtained from these tests, together with classification data and a knowledge of the soils loading history, enables estimates to be made of the behaviour of foundations under load.tel: +44 (0)1525 249 200 • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • www.ele.com46ConsolidationSoil TestingProduct Standards:ISO 17892-5, BS 1377-5, ASTM D2435, ASTM D3877, ASTM D4546, AASHTO T216The ELE Oedometer is rigidly constructed to ensure minimum frame distortion.

In particular, permeability is a key parameter for the design and assessment of landfill sites, the investigation of contaminated ground, the design of earth dams and sheet pile walls, and in assessing the potential for lowering groundwater levels.Combination Permeameter, 2.5 inches (63.4 mm); Constant & Falling Head MethodsProduct Code: 25-0623Products Standards:BS 1377-5This combination permeameter has a transparent plastic chamber for soil specimens of either fine-grained or coarse-grained soils. Generally, soils containing 10% or more particles passing a 75 μm sieve are tested using the falling head assembly. More granular soils, containing 90% or more particles retained on the 75 μm sieve, are tested using the constant head assembly. The cell is sealed at the top so that a vacuum may be used to saturate the specimen. Porous stones located at the top and bottom of the cell prevent sample flaking or washout. For constant head tests, a plastic funnel reservoir is mounted on an upright attached to the cell, providing a maximum head of 550 mm. Falling head tests are performed using the graduated pipette falling head reservoir, which gives a maximum head of 1000 mm and is graduated 0.2 ml. ±Plated steel chamber head assembly. ±Corrosion-resistant cast aluminium base assembly. ±Includes accessories for conducting both constant and falling head permeability studies.SpecificationsChamberTransparent plastic, single sectionBaseCast aluminiumTop SealPlated steel with gasketsConstant HeadPlastic, funnel reservoir, 550 mm max headFalling HeadGraduated pipette, 100 ml x 0.2 ml, 1000 mm max headSpecimen Size(dia x length max)63.5 x 63.5 mm when using lower chamber only63.5 x 140 mm when using both lower and extension chambersCapacityClear lucite; 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) wall; single sectionPorous Stones (dia x thickness)Mounts at top and bottom; 62.7 x 12 .7 mm; 105-120 permeability rating; 300 micron, average pore sizeWeightNet 11 lbs (5 kg)Spares/Consumables:Porous Stone 62.7 x 12.7 mm (T-308)PermeabilitySoil Testingwww.ele.com • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • tel: +44 (0)1525 249 20049PermeabilityPermeametersThese Permeameters are designed for performing either constant head or falling head permeability tests on undisturbed, remoulded or compacted soils.Compaction PermeameterProduct Code: 25-0607Product Standards:ASTM D5856SpecificationsMouldMachined seamless steel tubing, platedCapacity (mm)101.6 x 116.4 (inside dia x h) 1/30 ft³Collar (mm)50.8 high, machinedTopOverflow valve assembly and water connectionBaseCast aluminium, with inlet/outlet fittingPorous Stone(4 inches) 101.6 x 12.7 mm (dia x thickness)Weights (kg)7.9Standpipe PanelProduct Code: 25-0609Complete with three glass tubes of 1.5, 3 and 5 mm diameter bore, approximately 1.4 metres long.
