PR16 Lab Permeameters Products Request Quote The PR16 Lab Permeameter is an accurate and fully automated laboratory system for measuring soil core saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat). The PR16 can perform Ksat measurement according to Falling-Head Method and also Constant-Head Method procedures. Thanks to the Monitor® Precision Pressure Transducer, and the Chameleon Software Application, both measurement
Soil Moisture Analysis System Tempe Cell System Features Request Quote Specifications Downloads The Stevens Tempe Cell System can employ five different methods to eliminate the uncertainties from soil moisture measurements and achieve the highest level of accuracy. This system uses an enhanced gravimetric method to measure soil moisture to obtain the actual volumetric water content
Hanging Water Columns Features Request Quote Downloads The SoilMoisture tension Lab Setup consists of a Sandbox Tension Table connected to a hanging Water Column. The height difference between the surface of the saturated sand (shown in pink) and the dripping port of the Hanging Water Column determines the tension level applied. Why Soil Moisture Retention

Lab Extractors Features Order Downloads Moisture Retention Curve System, 5 bar and 15 bar Application Range Developing soil moisture retention characteristics of a soil or soil moisture release curve is at the core of soil hydrology studies that aim to understand soil water-plant-atmospheric systems, recharge processes, enhance hydrological models used in climate studies, carbon respiration
Soil Infiltrometers Request Quote Applications Downloads A soil infiltrometer is a device used to measure the rate at which water infiltrates into the soil. That is, how quickly water moves from the surface in the field into the ground. Infiltration rate equals the change in water depth on surface divided by time. Time intervals measurements
Soil Permeameters Request Quote Types & Applications Downloads PR16 Lab Permeameter, Single Station (Constant Head & Falling Head) A permeameter is a laboratory device used to measure the permeability (or hydraulic conductivity) of subsurface soils and other porous materials —typically soils, rocks, or membranes—to water or other fluids. A permeameter measures how easily water passes
Soil Water Samplers Request Quote Applications Downloads Soil Water Samplers are designed to collect soil water extracted from the soil for onsite or laboratory water quality analysis. How they workA negative pressure is applied to the tube using a hand pump. Water enters the sampler through the porous ceramic. Measurements are taken on the extracted

Soil Tensiometers Request Quote Applications Downloads TS6 Pencil Tensiometer A tensiometer is a device partially inserted into soil to measure the soil water tension. Soil tension (matric potential) is the suction or force needed to pull water from soil pores (by plants or instruments). It reflects how tightly water is held in the soil and
SAGE – Professional Soil Moisture Meter Features Specifications Downloads Shop/Inquire SAGE is an innovative and highly-visual tensiometer type for soil moisture from a distance for a simple indication of when it’s time to irrigate and when to stop. The waterproof display can stay outside for years No calibration is required Simple to use and easy
