Description
Product Introduction
According to the “Test Procedures for Geosynthetic Materials in Highway Engineering” JTG 3460-2026, this method is used to determine the vertical permeability of geosynthetic materials under unloaded conditions, at a constant hydraulic head, and under laminar flow conditions. It is applicable to all types of permeable geotextiles and composite geotextiles.
Product Features:
1. Specimen holder with a high-strength alloy aluminum structure
2. Colorful large-screen touch-control system with digital display and automatic timing.

Test Procedure
1. Place the specimen in water containing a wetting agent, gently stir to remove any air bubbles that may be trapped within the specimen, and soak for at least 24 hours until the specimen is fully saturated. The wetting agent used is sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate at a volume fraction of 0.1%.
2. Place the saturated specimen into the permeameter’s clamping device, ensuring that no air enters the specimen during installation; if possible, perform the loading underwater.
3. Fill the permeameter with water until a hydraulic head difference of 50 mm is established across the specimen. Shut off the water supply; if the heads on both sides of the specimen do not equalize within 5 minutes, check for trapped air that has not been fully removed, re‑purge the system, and document this in the test report.
4. Adjust the water flow so that the head difference reaches 70 mm ± 5 mm, and record this value to the nearest 1 mm. After the head has stabilized for at least 30 seconds, collect the volume of water passing through the apparatus using a graduated cylinder over a specified time interval, with volume measured to the nearest 10 mL and time measured to the nearest 0.1 s. Collect a minimum of 1000 mL of water or maintain collection for at least 30 seconds.
5. For head differences of approximately 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, and 0.2 times the maximum head difference, repeat the procedure described in Section 4.4, starting with the highest flow velocity and ending with the lowest, while recording the corresponding seepage discharge and duration. For materials whose permeability characteristics are already well established, to ensure product quality, it may be sufficient to measure the flow velocity at a head difference of 50 mm.
6. Record the water temperature to an accuracy of 0.5°C.
7. Repeat steps 4.2–4.6 for the other specimens.
