Solinst Low Pressure Pneumatic Packer Test Setup With Levelogger

Packer Tests Using Low Pressure Pneumatic Packers

Estimating aquifer properties, such as hydraulic conductivity (K) and permeability is an essential part of site characterization and creating accurate conceptual site models during site investigations. The data gained through aquifer characterizations help to plan further monitoring programs and remediation efforts. Packer Tests are a great way to obtain these aquifer characteristics… Continue Reading »

Simplify Your Pumping Test With A Water Level Datalogger

It is now common practice to use a pressure transducer, with a built-in datalogger, to monitor wells and collect readings during conventional pumping tests. Prior to their use, field technicians and drilling contractors may have spent hours or days on site, taking water level measurements by means of a manual water level meter or steel tape.
