Permeability and Fluidisation Studies Apparatus

A bed of granular medium (usually sand,
but other materials can be used such as Ballotini or anthracite) is
placed in a readily demountable tube through which water can be made to
flow in either a downwards or upwards direction.Flow from a laboratory
tap passes through a constant head tank, which also allows air bubbles
to be released, and is controlled by hand with a needle valve. The rate
of flow is indicated by a variable area meter. Pressure drop across the
bed can be measured either by a 0.5m length water differential manometer
or a 0.5m length Mercury manometer (see recommended accessories),
depending on the magnitude. Valves are fitted for isolation of various
parts of the circuit, together with air release valves. The test section
tube and all tubing connections are transparent so that operation can
be observed and the presence of air bubbles easily detected. All metal
fittings are corrosion resistant. No power connections are required and
the whole apparatus can be lifted and transported by one person. Test
material (Ballotini) for the packed bed is supplied but Mercury for the
manometer is not included.
