  • Page 3: Introduction

    SIG PERMEA3 – User Manual INTRODUCTION • The PERMEA3 represents the new generation of permeameters or infiltrometers. It is designed to measure the ability of a medium (like the soil) to transmit a liquid flow, called permeability or hydraulic conductivity. The test is performed by temporarily saturating the soil at the bottom of a borehole, above the water table.

  • Page 4: The Porchet Test Procedure

    A saturation phase is always necessary. Depending on the soil porosity this first phase may last from a few minutes to several hours. When the saturation is reached the flow becomes permanent, and the value of K becomes constant. U.M. PERMEA3-V10 – APRIL 22- PAGE 4...

  • Page 5: The Permea3

    The time of an infiltration cycle is computed to output the resulting permeability coefficient K (in mm/h). The PERMEA3 can measure K values between 0 and 700 mm/h. The use in very high hydraulic conductivities conditions (like over 1000 mm/h) over a long period of time may damage the electro-valve.

    • Connect the water drum to hydraulic input of the PERMEA3. To disconnect pull on the connectors ring. • Turn the PERMEA3 on. The battery state is displayed on the screen. • Use the arrows up and down to scroll on the memories.
  • Page 7 After 30 seconds, the “flow stop” message is displayed. The PERMEA3 displays xxx, and nothing happens : In case of very low permeability, it can take quite a long time for the water level to release the detector which starts the counting for the test.

    SIG PERMEA3 – User Manual BATTERY RECHARGE AND STORAGE The PERMEA3 has a great autonomy with a 12V 4.5Ah integrated battery. The state of the battery is displayed when the device is turned on. Only use the battery charger with timer provided with the PERMEA3.

  • Page 9: Software Installation

    The computer will automatically search for the driver on internet. If this is not possible, disconnect the PERMEA3 and install the provided driver CDM21224_Setup.exe. Plug the PERMEA3 in again, and start the installation procedure of the driver. • Launch the set up.exe...

All the functions and commands are available from the software application. The objective of this software application is to provide a table a measures, and draw the corresponding graph.
  • Page 11 The tool draw opens a dialog window to edit the styles and colors of the graph, and export the data to Excel. Once the graph interpreted and edited, axis modified, the image can be saved in .bmp. U.M. PERMEA3-V10 – APRIL 22- PAGE 11...
