The KA-210 Gas Permeameter measures sample permeability to gas (air, nitrogen or helium) by the steady-state method. The unit is connected to a computer for automated data acquisition and control. The KA-210 performs all data calculations for a direct reading of permeability. The computer also insures stable flow conditions through statistical analysis of the pressures and flow rates measured. Permeability can be measured on plug samples from <0.1 mD to >10 D, depending on sample size. Even horizontal permeability on full diameter samples can be measured with the KA-210 permeameter.

By varying the mean flowing pressure with the precision metering valve supplied in the unit, "non-reactive liquid permeability" (Klinkenberg permeability) can be measured between 0.1 and 1500 mD.

The KA-210 comes standard with a 2500 psig, quick release, Hassler holder for 1 inch (2.54 cm) diameter core samples up to 4 inches (10.16 cm) long. A 1.5 inch model can also be mounted on the console. Most coreholders can be utilized with the KA-210.
