Custom Rock Coal Permeability Coefficient Tester Manufacturers, Quotes

The rock permeability tester is a professional experimental equipment used to measure the permeability (permeability coefficient) of rocks or similar geotechnical materials. Its core function is to simulate the flow process of fluids (usually water or gas) in rock pores or fractures, and determine permeability parameters through quantitative analysis. 

The permeability coefficient is the degree to which rock allows water to flow through it under the pressure difference of water. It is measured according to Darcy's law.

Product Description

Working Principle

Based on Darcy's Law, the permeability coefficient is calculated by measuring the steady-state flow rate of a fluid under a constant pressure gradient.
