The invention relates to a method for measuring a
permeation rate of surface soil, comprising the steps of: arranging a big
metal round tube and a small
metal round tube near the water outlet of a Guelph
permeameter, wherein the two round tubes take the shape of concentric rings and are same in height and different in
diameter; filling soil between the two round tubes; adding water into the soil until the soil is saturated in
moisture content; and then measuring the
permeation rate of the surface soil. The method has the advantages that: 1, according to the provided installation, the method for measuring the
permeation rate of the soil by the Guelph
permeameter can be improved, so that the measurement range of the Guelph
permeameter is enlarged to a level of being capable of more accurately measuring the permeation rate of the surface soil from a level of being capable of measuring the permeation rate of the soil under the surface only before improvement; 2, the designed small
metal round tube can be tightly combined with the surface soil so as to ensure that certain water accumulation is formed in the small metal round tube; and 3, in the designed big metal round tube, the soil is filled in and is saturated by adding water, therefore, during the measurement,
water pressure inside and outside the small metal round tube wall can be ensured to be accordant, lateral permeation of the accumulated water in the tube to the outside is furthest reduced, and accuracy of a measurement result is ensured.
