Contact SupplierThe FOG calcimeter enables the measurement of the carbonate content in soil samples. This is a decisive parameter for soil fertility and plant health, but also in other areas such as in the production of cement and porcelain or for deep drilling. With the digital recording of data, ease of use and small footprint, the FOG calcimeters offer many advantages over the traditional Scheibler apparatus.
As with the Scheibler method, hydrochloric acid is added to the soil or sediment sample and the carbonate content is determined via the CO2 production. However, this is not done via the volume, but via the increase in pressure - with patented temperature compensation and very accurately. Once the measurement is complete (approx. 30 seconds), the result is displayed immediately and saved automatically.
The FOG-II Field-Calcimeter is supplied with all accessories in a portable field case. The measurement is carried out using a battery-operated hand-held device with internal memory for 50 measurements and an optional GPS receiver.
