The Manheim squeezer can be used to measure hydraulic conductivity and specific storage. As determined by these tests, the serpentine muds of the South Chamorro Seamount have hydraulic conductivities ranging from 1.0 x 10-11 to 1.9 x 10-10 m/s and specific storages ranging from 3 x 10-5 to 6.3 x 10-4 m-1. These values can be used to constrain consolidation times and fluid flow patterns in the serpentine mud seamounts of the Mariana forearc. However, further testing should be done to determine how well this apparatus meets the boundary conditions of consolidation tests. The analysis showed that the hydraulic conductivity and specific storage depend on the degree of consolidation and the applied axial load. Although the square root of time method and the finite difference method give similar results, the finite difference method might allow investigation of nonlinear behavior of the hydraulic conductivity and specific storage that would otherwise not be apparent using only the square root of time method.
