Portable permeameter (PPP-250)

Description

Provides an accurate method for determining gas permeability in the field and in the laboratory. Measurements can be made on outcrops or rock cores. The pressure decrease of the air injected into the rock is measured as a function of time to calculate the permeability according to the transient methods.
