KSAT Bench Top Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Meter

The KSAT is an instrument that measures the saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) of soil samples. Hydraulic conductivity—the rate at which water flows through soil—is a key component in most models that simulate water flow, solute transport, and runoff. The KSAT measures saturated hydraulic conductivity.

Features:

• Automation-no timing outflow, weighing beakers, or making judgment calls.

• Better data—dramatically improves accuracy by reducing human error.

• Both Constant and Falling Head methods.

• Easy-to-use software—performs all calculations and makes temperature corrections based on the viscosity of water.

• Wide Range—measure conductivities from 10,000 - 0.1 cm/d.

• Based on the inversion of Darcy’s Law.

• Complies with DIN 19683-9 and DIN 18130-1.
