This technical training video demonstrates the preferred procedure for use of KC Water’s double-ring infiltrometer for green infrastructure soil infiltration testing.
9:30 I don't know how to set it up. When I open the valve, the water in the Mariotte Tube drops like crazy and I lose all my water in the Tube. SOMEONE HELP.
IMPRACTICAL. The hardest part is to calibrate the Mariotte Tubes. It's impossible to match the infiltration rate with the flow of water from the tubes by raising/lowering the tubes. The tube is HEAVY and you have to raise/lower it MULTIPLE TIMES to get a matching rate. Sometimes taking more than an hour just to match it. IMPRACTICAL.
Clear and informative video. Thank you!
