PROCEDURE:
To measuring
cylinder
1. Identify the constant head at the source and record it. Be sure to measure from
an appropriate datum and be consistent throughout the experiment.
2. Measure the total length of the sample (AL) and determine sample cross-
sectional area (A) in cm², (Note: the sample is situated in a 2.5" inside diameter
acrylic pipe).
3. Using a 500ml beaker and a stopwatch, collect a volume of water
NOTE: choose any time interval that will allow a sufficient volume of water to collect in
the 500 ml beaker.
4. Record water temperature and determine the mass of water collected using a
scale accurate to 0.01g.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 at least 2 times to calculate an average flow rate.( Convert
mass of water to volume of water using an appropriate value for the density of
water and calculate the flow for each trail)
6. Using Darcy's Law calculate the hydraulic conductivity, k in cm/s
Note:
Darcy's Law: K =
ΔΗχΑ
7. Correct and report k to at a temperature of 10 °C.
