Slug Testing has never been more reliable, or so easy.
  • Reduce noise from quick-recovery tests
  • Capture sufficient data for short-duration tests
  • Manage initial displacements for high-K formations
  • Use your own pressure transducer
  • Optimize and minimize initial head displacement
  • Apply to common well sizes up to 4 inches in diameter

The Pneumatic Hi-K® Slug by Midwest GeoSciences Group is the answer for conducting slug tests in fast recovery wells. It uses air pressure from a hand-held pump to lower the water level and the easy-to-use valve releases the pressure immediately to dramatically improve test results!

Each pneumatic slug assembly comes with a pressure gauge reading head displacement in inches or centimeters of water so you do not need to calculate a conversion from PSI!

It includes a hand pump for pressurization, a standard attachment for a 2" diameter well, instruction sheet and a storage case. It is compatible with In-Situ and Solinist transducers up to 1" diameter. Transducer cables are accommodated with a compression fitting accommodating different cable diameters. Optional accessories include attachments for fitting 3/4" diameter wells such as those for direct push well installations and attachments for 4" diameter wells.

Terms and Conditions
  1. Note: Shipping rates are fluctuating (and mostly increasing) for shipments outside the United States. We ship using the lowest possible pricing in order to help save you money.

  2. Midwest GeoSciences Group generally uses US Postal Service for shipping field guides and charts. We generally use UPS for shipping equipment and soil kits to US addresses. Overnight shipping is available in most cases, but there is an extra shipping fee.

  3. Buyer accepts any and all international customs fees and duties related to shipping. Midwest GeoSciences Group is not responsible for any extra charges from a govt agency.

  4. Midwest GeoSciences Group cannot guarantee delivery duration. We've simply learned that shipping companies cannot guarantee shipping duration, even with their overnight "guaranteed" delivery. So, we don't guarantee it either.

  5. If in the unlikely event that an item arrives damaged, send us a photo of it and we will either replace a part or the entire item.

  6. Sometimes we add extra stuff with orders. If we do, you can be rest assured it's intended as a gift. Keep It.

The Pneumatic Hi-K® Slug provides high-quality data for accurate slug testing of hydraulic conductivity (K). The Pneumatic Hi-K® Slug is a kit that is contained in a toolbox and and easily carried from well to well.

Pneumatic slug testing methods require an air tight seal at the well head and air pressure to lower the water level. As air is pressurized in the well, the upward water pressure and the downward air pressure are equal. Once the water level has been lowered to the desired Initial Displacement (H(o)) distance and it is stable, the test is performed by releasing the valve allowing instantaneous release of the air pressure. The water level rises (rising head test) and the pressure transducer and data logger records the changes in water level and time.

The release of the air pressure exhibits a smooth recovery of the water level with minimal (if any) noise. So tests that recover in a few seconds may be tested with small and manageable Initial Displacements (H(o)) coupled with obtaining reliable data sufficient for a confident analysis.

Testimonials...

The Hi-K slug kit worked great, we were able to get some good data on the wells that were giving us issues with the mechanical method. Next time I do slug testing I will definitely be giving you a call again.
- Stuart Holmes, Hydrogeologist, Environment, AECOM.

The Pneumatic Hi-K Slug is very easy to use, with easy to follow instructions and a complete equipment check list. My slug tests were quick to perform and I was able to perform 3 tests in the time in would take to do one conventional test. The resulting data was very smooth, distinguishable (no oscillation or pressure wave) and easy to process. Every Hydrogeologist should have this piece of equipment in their groundwater toolbox.
- Dan Kennedy P.Eng., Klohn Crippen Berger, Vancouver, Canada

We recently used your pneumatic Hi-K Slug test kit on a project with numerous wells. The kit was easy to use, saved us time, and eliminated cleaning that is required using a traditional solid slug. The best part is that the Hi-K kit provided excellent results with smooth test data that was free of early oscillations typical of solid slug tests. I definitely recommend this kit for others. And you can't beat the price. Thanks again for making our job easier.
- Fred Kolberg-Tetra Tech, Germantown, Maryland

My company purchased the Midwest GeoSciences Pneumatic "Hi-K" Slug Test Assembly to use on a series of fractured, deep bedrock wells. The slug provided clean data during slug tests and allowed us to see oscillatory responses in some wells that were not observed using traditional slugs. For my office, it has become the primary method of slug testing when applicable.

The apparatus is well-built, fairly easy to install, and definitely a worthwhile addition to one's field equipment inventory.

- Paul L. D'Annibale, O'Brien & Gere

The Midwest Geo High-K Pneumatic Slug Test Kit was very convenient and easy to use. There was no need to transport water and since there is no solid slug, transducer movement during the test is virtually eliminated. I will definitely continue to use this kit whenever site conditions allow.
- Aaron Ezzell, PE, PG, Terracon Consultants, Inc.


English or Metric Measurements:
When you order a PNEUMATIC HI-K SLUG®, you can choose pressure gauge options that read in either English units (Inches of Water) or Metric units (Centimeters of Water). Design and measure your initial displacements that work best for you!

Guidance:
Refer to the following guidance documents when conducting slug tests using the MidwestGeo PNEUMATIC HI-K SLUG®:

ASTM D7242 - 06
Standard Practice for Field Pneumatic Slug (Instantaneous Change in Head) Tests to Determine Hydraulic Properties of Aquifers with Direct Push Ground Water Samplers
