ISO 22282-6:2012 PDF Download

ISO 22282-6:2012 is a standard that outlines the procedures and requirements for conducting water permeability tests in a borehole using closed systems. The purpose of these tests is to determine the local permeability of soils and rocks, both below and above the groundwater table. This information is essential in geotechnical investigations and is in accordance with the requirements set out in EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2.

The standard specifies the methods and equipment to be used during the testing process. It ensures that accurate and reliable results are obtained by providing guidelines on the preparation of the borehole, installation of the closed system, and measurement of the water flow. The closed system approach ensures that any potential disturbances from external factors are minimized, thus ensuring the accuracy of the permeability measurements.
