Shelby Tube Permeameters save time and money and allow soil permeability testing in a nearly in situ condition by performing the test in the actual undisturbed sample tube. They are especially suited for non-cohesive materials and sands, which require extra care to transfer to a standard permeability cell.
The Permeameters consist of two anodized aluminum end caps with O-Rings, secured with threaded tie rods over a standard 2in (50.8mm), 2.5in (63.5mm) or 3in (76.2mm) diameter Shelby tube section up to 6in (152mm) long (not included). Clamping knobs tilt for fast positioning over the tie rods. Each end cap contains a valve to control the flow of permeants, along with a porous stone to prevent loss of material. Concave shape on the inside of the top cap aids in deairing. Each Permeameter includes corrosion-resistant top and bottom end caps, two porous stones, two stainless steel valve openings, and three threaded tie rods and clamp knobs.

The Karol-Warner 3914, 2.5in Shelby Tube Permeameter is a revolutionary product that is designed to save time, money, and effort in soil permeability testing. This permeameter allows for testing to be conducted in a nearly in situ condition by performing the test in the actual undisturbed sample tube. It is particularly efficient for non-cohesive materials and sands, which can be challenging to transfer to a standard permeability cell.
The Permeameter consists of two anodized aluminum end caps with O-Rings that are securely fastened with threaded tie rods over a standard 2in (50.8mm), 2.5in (63.5mm), or 3in (76.2mm) diameter Shelby tube section, up to 6in (152mm) long (not included). The clamping knobs are designed to tilt for fast positioning over the tie rods. Each end cap also contains a valve to control the flow of permeants, along with a porous stone to prevent loss of material. The concave shape on the inside of the top cap aids in deairing. The Permeameter includes corrosion-resistant top and bottom end caps, two porous stones, two stainless steel valve openings, and three threaded tie rods and clamp knobs.
One of the key features of this product is its ability to minimize disturbance or damage to sensitive samples. This ensures that the integrity of the sample remains intact during testing. Additionally, the use of the Shelby Tube Permeameter saves setup time and labor, making it a highly efficient tool for conducting permeability tests.
The Karol-Warner 3914, 2.5in Shelby Tube Permeameter is versatile and can be used with both constant head and falling head methods. This allows for flexibility in testing different samples and obtaining accurate results.
The package includes the Shelby Tube Permeameter, two porous stones, top and bottom end caps, O-Rings, tie rods, and clamp knobs.
Invest in the Karol-Warner 3914, 2.5in Shelby Tube Permeameter to streamline your soil permeability testing process and achieve reliable and accurate results without compromising the integrity of your samples.
