The KSAT is an instrument that measures the saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) of soil samples. Hydraulic conductivity—the rate at which water flows through soil—is a key component in most models that simulate water flow, solute transport, and runoff. The KSAT measures saturated hydraulic conductivity.

Features:

• Automation-no timing outflow, weighing beakers, or making judgment calls.

• Better data—dramatically improves accuracy by reducing human error.

• Both Constant and Falling Head methods.

• Easy-to-use software—performs all calculations and makes temperature corrections based on the viscosity of water.

• Wide Range—measure conductivities from 10,000 - 0.1 cm/d.

• Based on the inversion of Darcy’s Law.

• Complies with DIN 19683-9 and DIN 18130-1.
