Infiltration Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14139

This Infiltration Apparatus provides a simple, yet effective, laboratory demonstration of the infiltration process , a fundamental concept in hydrology and irrigation science.

II. Apparatus Description

The unit is designed to allow students to observe and measure how water permeates different soil types.

Core Components The apparatus consists of three graduated, transparent Perspex cylinders. Soil samples are placed inside these cylinders, resting on a permeable support screen.
Functionality Water is applied to the soil surface, and students can observe the infiltration as it occurs. The graduated scale on each cylinder allows for the quantification of infiltration rates over time.
Design Features To ensure accurate results, each cylinder incorporates an air breather and a perforated base plate. This design facilitates efficient drainage while preventing excessive soil loss.
Structure The complete unit is supported by a sturdy metal stand and is designed for stable bench mounting.

III. Educational Objectives

Using this equipment, students will gain practical understanding of key factors that govern infiltration:

Soil Characteristics Understand the effects of soil texture and structure on infiltration rates.
Initial Conditions Understand the effects of existing soil moisture conditions on infiltration.
