Abstract: A gas meter with a rated maximum flow capacity of greater than 3,000 CFH (Cubic Feet per Hour)—for example, between 3,500 CFH and 7,000 CFH—is provided with 2-inch flange connectors. One or more undercuts are provided in the meter body to promote satisfactory performance in terms of, for example, differential pressures at the meter inlet and outlet.

Abstract: There is provided a water exchange meter being capable of automatically and continuously measuring the water exchange at the surface water/sediment interface in which a saturated vertical hydraulic conductivity of the sediment from the hydraulic head difference between a chamber and a storage pipe at a measurement location is measured, and after the measurement of the saturated vertical hydraulic conductivity, while the measurement device used in the measurement of the vertical hydraulic conductivity is maintained, a vertical hydraulic gradient between upper and lower portions of a chamber is continuously measured in situ.

Abstract: A apparatus for measuring saturated hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated porous media in an unsaturated zone of the earth. The measuring apparatus includes a cylinder member inserted into the porous media in a position in which the upper and lower ends of the cylinder member are open, a means for supplying a constant flow rate of water to the cylinder member, and a pressure measuring means for measuring the hydraulic head in response to water flowing into the cylinder member. The measuring apparatus can easily measure the vertical hydraulic conductivity of a foundation based on Darcy's Law in the field. It is possible to accurately measure the hydraulic conductivity of a sedimentary layer in the natural state and easily determine geological characteristics of the soil. It is possible to obtain very accurate information regarding the process of dispersion and movement of contaminants.

Abstract: A permeameter for in-situ measurement of saturated hydraulic conductivity is presented. The permeameter includes a chamber fixedly installed into streambed sediment such that the inside of the chamber is filled with a medium, sediment at water-sediment interface. First and second hydraulic head-measuring lines are respectively connected to upper and lower portions of an outer circumferential surface of the chamber, these are designed for measuring a hydraulic head difference of the inside of the chamber. A flexible tube is interconnected the chamber with the storage pipe. A storage pipe is designed to regulate a hydraulic head difference from the chamber and to measure a quantity and a flow rate of water introduced from the chamber under the streambed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic seepage meter for measuring groundwater-surface water exchange in a mixed zone of stream. The present invention includes: the chamber installed in streambed sediment; the device for measuring amount of groundwater recharge through a change in water level accompanied by discharging water in the water in case of losing stream; and the device for measuring amount of groundwater discharge through a change in water level according to an increased water from the chamber to the water bath for measuring discharge in case of gaining stream.

Abstract: A sequential sampler for runoff water. The sampler includes a rail member installed to be sloped downward in one direction; a plurality of storage members that move to a downward direction of the rail member; a stopper installed at a middle portion of the rail member that intermits a movement of the storage members; a device of supplying runoff water and inducing drop of storage cylinder that drops runoff water inside of the storage member stood by at a front portion of the stopper and drops the storage cylinder of the storage member stored with the runoff water after elapsing a predetermined time; and an intake pump of runoff water.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sequential groundwater sampler and a sampling method thereof, and more particularly, the sampler is constructed with a first pipe, a second pipe, a first cylinder unit and a second cylinder unit. The first pipe plays a role as a container for vacuum sample bottle. The first pipe is fixedly inserted to the second pipe. The second pipe is connected to the two cylinders to be moved up and down vertically while surrounding the first pipe by an advance and retreat of the second cylinder unit. The second pipe plays a role of, passing a syringe needle amounted at the end of a first piston in the first cylinder unit through a rubber plug of a vacuum sample bottle at the bottom end of the first pipe, or separating the syringe needle from the vacuum sample bottle, by an advance and retreat of the first cylinder unit. If the second cylinder and the first cylinder sequentially advance, groundwater is injected to the vacuum sample bottle at the bottom end of the first pipe.

Abstract: There are provided an apparatus and method for groundwater sampling, using a hydraulic coupler according to the present invention. In more particular, in the groundwater sampler which is positioned at multiple depths within a groundwater borehole to simultaneously take groundwater samples at the multiple depths, couplers are each connected to both ends of a water sampling pipe made of a metal pipe material. In case of positioning the sampler at a targeted depth, a socket and a plug forming each coupler are connected to each other, so that the both ends of the water sampling pipe—to lead groundwater to freely flow in/out. Thereafter, at the targeted depth, the sockets or plugs are permitted to be separated in the couplers at the both ends of the water sampling pipe by using a lift device, so that the both ends of the water sampling pipe are sealed to simultaneously taking groundwater samples at multiple depths.
