    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Standard sets out a method for determining the coefficient of permeability for the flow of water through a remoulded specimen under the influence of a falling head of water. The method is suitable for soils with coefficient of permeability of about 10−7 to 10−9 metres per second.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Standard sets out a method for determining the coefficient of permeability for the flow of water through a remoulded specimen under the influence of a falling head of water (see Note 1). The method is suitable for soils with coefficient of permeability of about 10-7 to10 -9 metres per second.
