Well Slugs

The Well Slug is a convenient, fixed volume, cylindrical solid for performing rising or falling head permeability tests (hydraulic conductivity) in conjunction with a data logger.

The slug test is based on instantaneously making the water level in the bore either rise or fall, and then recording the behaviour of the water level versus time as the water returns to its original position.

Enqip’s Well Slugs are designed specifically for 50 mm monitoring wells, but in practice can be used in larger monitoring wells. There are three volume options – 0.5, 1.25 and 1.8 L – that can be chosen to match available well water volumes, or multiple slugs can be used together for greater water displacement.
