Soil
Tensiometers - set, standard, Jet-fill, Quick draw, electronic
The right quantity of water in the soil is of primary importance for an optimum plant growth and yield of crop. Measuring the soil moisture content (in percentages) as well as the determination of the soil suction (in hPa, mbar or cbar) in the soil therefore is one of the most important aspects of complete agricultural physical soil research.
14.04 Tensiometerset
14.04.03 Standard tensiometers
The standard tensiometer consists of a clear transparent plastic tube with a ceramic cup at the bottom end and a manometer at the top. The standard tensiometer is delivered in various lengths.
14.04.04 Jet-fill tensiometers
The Jet-fill tensiometer basically has the same components as the standard tensiometer but is equipped with a reservoir and a refill mechanism. At a push of the button the Jet-fill mechanism instantly injects water from the reservoir into the body of the tensiometer and removes accumulated air.
14.04.05 Quick draw tensiometers
The quick draw tensiometer is a small tensiometer that can easily be moved and, using the auger for pre-drilling, placed into the soil. The small diameter and the super porous ceramic cup and the possibility of pre-setting the tension, allow a measuring period of only a few minutes. After each measurement the tensiometer can be stored in a carrier cylinder in which it is kept humid allowing immediate use in case of a next measurement.
14.50 Electronic tensimeter
The electronic tensimeter is a portable pressure sensor in a bag for measurement of the moisture tension in the soil, measured through a tensiometer tube placed in the soil. The measuring device can be moved from tensiometer tube to tensiometer tube allowing an unlimited number of measurements over a short period of time.
