Construction and Design
The FluidoSurge-X 396 Demonstration Infiltration Apparatus is bench-mounted on a frame of anodised aluminium with Bakelite panels. Three Perspex cylinders, each 84 mm inner diameter, 100 mm outer diameter, 500 mm in height, and greater than 2.5 L in volume, rest on a permeable support screen. Each cylinder has a perforated base plate allowing drainage while retaining soil. A graduated scale from 0 to 500 mm at 1 mm resolution is marked on each cylinder for quantitative measurement. The cylinders are designed to detach easily from their resting position for cleaning. Separate tanks below the cylinders collect drained water and fine particles independently. Three 1-litre measuring cylinders are supplied for volumetric measurement of collected water.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What are the dimensions and volume of each test cylinder?
Each Perspex cylinder has an inner diameter of 84 mm, outer diameter of 100 mm, height of 500 mm, and a volume greater than 2.5 L.
Q2. What is the measurement range and resolution of the graduated scale?
0 to 500 mm with a resolution of 1 mm, marked on each of the three cylinders.
Q3. How is drainage managed without excessive soil loss?
Each cylinder rests on a permeable support screen with a perforated base plate, allowing water to drain while minimising soil particle loss. Separate tanks collect drained water and fine particles.
Q4. Can the cylinders be removed for cleaning?
Yes. The cylinders are designed to detach easily from their resting position for cleaning purposes.
Q5. What frame and panel materials are used in the FluidoSurge-X 396?
The frame is constructed from anodised aluminium and the panels are fabricated from Bakelite.
