Yup I`ve tried and tried and I am totally trans-mistyfied.
It sure is a pain in the butt isn`t it?

Only by establishing an empiric formulae.
Suggest the following
In the same container pour in the sand to a given thickness.
Pour in a given volume of water and measure after ten seconds.
Multiply the two and this will give you a factor less than one.
Divide by ten.
If this is 0.5 then the conductivity is 50% per sec' for continuous pressure.

Q/s=T/1500 unconfined
Q/s=T/2100 confined
I may have them reversed (confined and unconfined) K will be found from T/b with b= aquifer thickness.....kind of
