Suggested Method of Test for Permeability and Capillarity of Soils and Soil Mixtures

Source

This test is intended to determine the coefficient of permeability of undisturbed soil samples or prepared samples of a specified moisture content and density. The procedure leads to a measure of the percolation rate and the equivalent capillary head which must be exceeded before percolation takes place.
