INFILTRATION APPARATUS Model FM 28

Sci-tech Infiltration Apparatus Model FM-28 provides a simple but effective laboratory demonstration of the infiltration processes which are fundamental to any form of irrigation.

The unit comprises three transparent cylinders in which soil samples are placed. Water poured onto the soil surface can then be observed as it infiltrates the sample.

Each cylinder features a graduated scale so that observations may be quantified. Each cylinder incorporates an air breather and a perforated base plate to facilitate drainage without undue soil loss.

Sci-tech Infiltration Apparatus comprising: three graduated Perspex cylinders, resting on a permeable support screen, into which soil samples are placed.

The complete apparatus is supported by a metal stand and may be bench mounted; complete with user instructions and manual.

Size: 50cm x 50cm x 90cm (LxWxH)
Weight: 35 kg
