What is a packer test used for?

Packer testing is a test for measuring the permeability of ground in sections of boreholes. Pneumatic packers have been an increasingly valuable tool for consultants analyzing borehole characteristics. Packers can be used to determine the water quality in discrete zones in both cased and uncased wells.

What is permeability testing?

Permeability (hydraulic conductivity) can be determined by undertaking in-situ tests in boreholes or standpipe piezometers. The test method involves variable head (rising or falling) or constant head procedures and requires knowledge of the groundwater level. The type of test undertaken depends on the soil type.

How do you test a packer picture?

How to test image

1. There is the Inspec provisioner which can apply a compliance profile.
2. You could also apply a compliance or configuration check with Ansible using the Ansible provisioner.
3. something like TestInfra via a local shell provisoiner.

What is double packer test?

Double Packer’ Hydraulic Conductivity Testing The, ‘double packer’ system is undertaken with 3 inflated packers, whereby one packer is inflated within the 146mm Geobore S casing, one underneath the casing shoe and another at the bottom of the clients requested test section.

What is packer testing in geotechnical engineering?

Abstract. Packer permeability tests are used routinely in geotechnical investigations to allow estimation of hydraulic conductivity by analysis of pressure/flow rate response during controlled injection of water into a section of borehole, isolated by packers.

What are Provisioners in Packer?

Provisioners are components of Packer that install and configure software within a running machine prior to that machine being turned into a static image. They perform the major work of making the image contain useful software. Example provisioners include shell scripts, Chef, Puppet, etc.

How does a packer build work?

Builders and communicators are bundled together and configured side-by-side in a source block. A source can be reused across multiple builds, and you can use multiple source s in a single build. A builder plugin is a component of Packer that is responsible for creating a machine and turning that machine into an image.

What is a double packer?

The double-packer test is a classical field method for in situ determination of formation permeability.
