Description

Water is supplied to the first balancing water tank 1 through the water supply pipe 2. The water level in the first balancing water tank 1 can be controlled by adjusting the inlet height of the drain pipe 3. Water that has permeated horizontally through the geotextile enters the second balancing water tank 5.

The flow rate of the overflowing water from the overflow sidewall 6 can then be used for testing.

[0026] The testing equipment of this utility model can adjust the hydraulic gradient pressure difference on both sides of the geotextile by automatically overflowing the second balance water tank 5 and moving the inlet position of the drain pipe 3 up and down. This allows for convenient and stable adjustment.

[0034] As shown in the figure, the water overflowing from the second balance water tank 5 through the overflow side wall 6 enters the overflow water tank 14. The overflow water tank 14 is introduced into the receiving tank 15 through the outlet pipe. The outlet pipe is equipped with a flow meter 16 to monitor the infiltration water flow of the second balance water tank 5.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, more specifically regarding the structure of this utility model, the testing device further includes a filter 19, the outlet of which is connected to the pure water tank 17, and the inlet of which is connected to the circulation pipe 18.
