Talk:Infiltrometer

Trademark

Infiltrometer is a trademarked term by a Canadian / American company named Retrotec.

The article is about devices used to measure water infiltration into soil. A Retrotec Infiltrometer is apparently a device for measuring air infiltration into building envelopes for fire protection design. Not sure where that leaves us. Any clues? -- Paleorthid (talk) 03:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Rainfall

The second "problem" has me completely mystified - I have no idea what this is referring to. Rainfall is irrelevant to infiltrometer tests or analysis. Suggest deleting this entirely. AlbionWood (talk) 00:58, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

2nd problem was rainfall - addressed now with intext cite. -- Paleorthid (talk) 03:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

nonesensical construction

and if infiltration rate exceeds the infiltration capacity, runoff will be the consequence,

if the water available for infiltration exceeds capacity runoff will be generated.....the sentence in the article is tortured and unintelligible....
