NC STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT of SOIL SCIENCE NC STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT of SOIL SCIENCE Infiltration Rapid – water enters at > 7.5 cm (3 in) per hour –sand, loamy sand, coarse sandy loam with good structure Moderate – water enters at cm ( in) per hour –Very fine and fine sandy loam, sandy loam with weak or moderate structure –silt loam, silty clay loam, sandy clay loam, loam, clay loam, or clay with moderate or strong structure –sandy clay with strong structure Slow – water enters at < 0.5 cm (0.2 in) per hour –Silty clay loam, silty clay, sandy clay and clay with weak structure (commonly 2:1 clay)
