  3-Part Well Slugs


Waterra 3-part well slugs are used for permeability testing in narrow diameter boreholes. They are manufactured from 3 solid cylinders of Delrin with threaded connections to allow 1, 2 or all 3 sections to be used. Two standard sizes are available for use in 50mm and 100mm diameter wells. Each size will achieve an approximate 1m change in water level within the borehole lining.

Use in conjunction with a data logger for accurate recording of water level changes during slug test.

Slug Test Method
Water is displaced in a borehole when a well slug is rapidly submerged (rising head test) or removed (falling head test) from the water column. For more detailed information on methodology and interpretation see BS5930 or BS ISO 14686. Download our Well Slug User Guide for Practical Field Guidance.
