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 Shelby Tube 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 Shelby Tube 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 3915, 3in Shelby Tube Permeameter is a highly efficient and reliable tool for soil permeability testing. This product is designed to save both time and money, while providing accurate results in nearly in situ conditions.
Traditional permeability testing methods often require transferring soil samples to a separate permeability cell, which can be a time-consuming and delicate process, especially when dealing with non-cohesive materials and sands. However, the Shelby Tube Permeameter eliminates the need for such transfers by allowing the test to be conducted directly in the undisturbed sample tube.
The Shelby Tube Permeameter consists of two anodized aluminum end caps with O-Rings, which are securely fastened with threaded tie rods over a standard 2in, 2.5in, or 3in diameter Shelby tube section. The clamping knobs on the end caps can be easily tilted for quick positioning over the tie rods. Each end cap is equipped with a valve for controlling the flow of permeants and a porous stone to prevent material loss. The top cap of the permeameter features a concave shape on the inside, facilitating deairing.
When you purchase the Shelby Tube Permeameter, you will receive corrosion-resistant top and bottom end caps, two porous stones, two stainless steel valve openings, and three threaded tie rods and clamp knobs. This comprehensive package ensures that you have all the necessary components to conduct your soil permeability tests efficiently and effectively.
The Shelby Tube Permeameter offers several convenient features, including its ability to minimize disturbance or damage to sensitive samples. It also saves setup time and labor, allowing you to achieve accurate results more quickly. Depending on your testing requirements, this permeameter can be used with both the constant head or falling head methods.
Investing in the Karol-Warner 3915, 3in Shelby Tube Permeameter is a practical choice for anyone involved in soil permeability testing. With its high-quality construction and user-friendly design, this product offers exceptional value for money and helps ensure accurate and reliable test results.
