The new Turf-Tec Heavy Duty Infiltration Rings have diameters of 12 and 24 Inches (60 CM and 30 CM) and an overall height of 20 inches (50 CM) that match ASTM Standard D 3385-03 which replaced old ASTM D 3385-94.

The new Turf-Tec Heavy Duty Infiltration Rings have diameters of 12" and 24" (60 cm and 30 cm) and an overall height of 20" (50 cm), that match ASTM Standard D 3385-03, which replaced old ASTM D 3385-94.

The Turf-Tec Infiltration Rings are double rings for standard testing of soils with a hydraulic conductivity between 1X10-2 cm/s or less than about 1 X 10-6 cm/s or sand type soils with high infiltration rates.

This Double Ring Infiltrometer set is constructed of heavy duty, durable, galvanized steel and braced with welded steel supports inside and out to insure the rings stay evenly centered as they penetrate the soil. The heavy duty set also has 1/4" thick steel welded on top edge to allow aggressive driving into hard soils.

Turf-Tec 12" and 24" Infiltration Rings are already centered in position for ease of positioning rings and ease of insertion into the soil. The welded handle and welded inside support braces ensure the rings are perfectly centered with every test. In addition, the center ring is already suspended 1" above the outer ring to identically match the ASTM specifications and to ensure exact soil placement.

This method of testing is useful for field measurement of the infiltration rate of soils. Infiltration rates have applications in the field of liquid waste disposal, evaluation of potential septic tank disposal fields, leaching studies and drainage efficiencies. They are also helpful in determining irrigation requirements, water spreading or recharge, canal leakage and reservoir leakage testing and studies.

The Turf-Tec 12 and 24 inch ASTM Infiltration Rings are useful in industries like geology, geotechnical, engineering, hydrology, forestry, environmental testing, hydrogeological, runoff studies, wetland mitigation, permeability testing, sanitation contractors, project planning and EPA requirements. The purpose of the double ring is to ensure the downward flow of movement of water to ensure proper measurements. These infiltration rings are ideal for taking ASTM infiltration tests on all areas and match the ASTM 3385 test.

The Turf-Tec 12" and 24" ASTM Infiltration Rings are useful in industries like geology, geotechnical, engineering, hydrology, forestry, environmental testing, hydro geological, runoff studies, rain gardens, wetland mitigation, permeability testing, sanitation contractors, project planning, Professional Engineers (P.E.) and EPA requirements. Double Ring Infiltrometer, standard set.
