Tensiometer
-
The soil moisture tension is the foundation for every water movement and therefore for every water balance analysis. The gradient of the soil moisturetension determines both the direction and the speed of the watermovement. The soil moisture tension can be recorded using tensiometers by water in the tensiometer being connected with the pore system of the soil via aporous ceramic cup. The pressure relationships are transferred to the pressuresensor inside the tensiometer. A large variety of versions permits theuse of tensiometers for a broad range of tasks. This applies from the ring soil sample in the laboratory through to field use and from short term measurements through to long term monitoring. All tensiometers are supplied filled and ready to use.
