Stainless Steel Soil Sensor Tensiometer, Color : Silver for Industrial

The IRROMETER Tensiometer is the standard in accurate soil moisture measurement, offering growers an inexpensive and reliable means of measuring soil moisture for irrigation scheduling. An IRROMETER will measure the actual soil water tension, which indicates the effort required by root systems to extract water from the soil. Because the IRROMETER is a true measurement of soil water potential, the instrument is not affected by salinity and does not require site calibration.

The IRROMETER is available in several models, with standard lengths of 6", 12", 18", 24", 36", or 48" dependent on the rooting depth of the specific crop.

The "SR" IRROMETER is the standard instrument for use in medium to heavy soils. Each instrument includes a threaded replaceable tip as well as reservoir, air free gauge chamber, and membrane vented stainless steel vacuum gauge with a 0 to 100 cb/kPa soil water tension range.

The "LT" IRROMETER is fitted with a low tension 0-40 cb/kPa gauge for applications where tensions above 30 are rarely expected. Ideal for very coarse soils, sands, and non-soil containter media where soil water tension changes rapidly in the lower end of the scale.

  LT IRROMETER Spec Sheet

The "MLT" (Miniature Low Tension) is designed for applications similar to the Model "LT" above where small size is required. Ideal for use with very coarse soils and non-soil container-media. Its compact size and 0-40 cb/kPa gauge make it a good choice for green house applications.
