The Turf-Tec Mariotte Tube for IN16-W Infiltration Ring provides a constant flow of water into the ring, which allows liquid flow measurement during the infiltration testing. This instrument eliminates the need to continually fill the rings with water to maintain a specific fluid level and constant head pressure. It allows a periodic check and record on the infiltration rate instead of regularly monitoring by hand as the head falls.
This single 10,000 ml tube complies with the ASTM standard of soil testing, having a hydraulic conductivity of 1X10-2 cm/s. With a 12-inch diameter and 20-inch height, the Mariotte tube is durable in construction with a heavy wall PVC tubing and solid brass and stainless steel hardware.
Prevent being stuck on monitoring water levels and attach a Mariotte tube on your infiltration ring. This USA-made instrument is a useful tool in facilitating readings on the site glass.
