FEL5MKII Demonstration Infiltration Apparatus Educational Equipment Fluid Mechanics Experiment Equipment
DESCRIPTION
The Demonstration Inffltration Apparatus provides a simple but effective laboratory demonstration of inffltration processes, which are fundamental to any form of irrigation.
Each cylinder features a graduated scale so that observations may be quantiffed. Each cylinder incorporates an air breather and a perforated base plate to facilitate drainage without undue soil loss.
Experimental content
Demonstration of the effect of crusting on infiltration
Understand the effects of soil texture and structure on infiltration
Understand the effects of existing soil moisture conditions on infiltration
Demonstration of relationship between soil type and infiltration and penetration rates
Demonstration of the relationship between soil particle size and infiltration
The effect of organic matter content on infiltration and penetration rate
The effect of non-homogeneous soil strata on infiltration and penetration rates
The effect of moisture content on infiltration and penetration rates
The effect of straw mulch on infiltration rate
