Improved Transient‐Flow Air Permeameter Design: Dampening the Temperature Effects

Abstract

Abstract Air permeability of soil is an important parameter for soil aeration and contaminant remediation techniques such as soil vacuum extraction. Transient‐flow air permeameters are inexpensive and portable, but have been shown to be sensitive to small changes in temperature in the air tank induced by the changing air pressure. We have developed a simple and inexpensive modification to the design of transient‐flow air permeameters that …
