Product Overview
Laboratory Flow and Soil Testing Apparatus with Porous Stone Chamber
Product Condition
Used. Item appears complete based on visual inspection, with a metal chamber measuring approximately 2.5 inches by 1.5 inches and a porous stone at the base. No testing performed and no documentation, markings, or model identification present. Functional use is not confirmed.
Carefully packed and shipped same business day from our Idaho warehouse. Online since 1999. Honest equipment and straightforward service.
Product Overview
Soiltest permeameter with an unidentified model designation and compact cylindrical chamber. The assembly includes a porous stone at the bottom of the chamber, fluid inlet and outlet ports, and a vertical rod intended for mounting to a stand. Instruments of this form are typically associated with controlled fluid flow through granular media in laboratory or field testing environments. The lack of markings suggests use as a general-purpose or older laboratory accessory rather than a current production instrument.
Key Features
- Metal chamber measuring approximately 2.5 in diameter by 1.5 in height

- Replacement or auxiliary component in legacy test rigs
- Experimental or prototyping use in geotechnical studies
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this confirmed to be a Soiltest permeameter?
The form and construction are consistent with permeameter-style devices, but the exact model and intended configuration are not confirmed.
Has the item been tested?
No functional testing has been performed. Assessment is limited to visual inspection only.
Are any accessories or hoses included?
No accessories, hoses, or stand are included beyond what is shown and described.
What is the porous stone used for?
In similar devices, porous stones are used to distribute fluid evenly through a sample, but specific performance characteristics of this stone are unknown.
Can you provide documentation or specifications?
No documentation or factory specifications are available for this unit.
Built like a quiet lab workhorse, this piece reflects an era when simple, physical test fixtures carried the weight of careful measurement and methodical experimentation.
