The Full Range Tensiometer measures: water tension, soil temperature and soil moisture. Use the tensiometer stationary in the field for extended periods. Low energy consumption during measurement and minimal maintenance make the polymer tensiometer a perfect companion for your research.
The low energy consumption during measurement and the minimal maintenance required make the polymer tensiometer a perfect companion for research and long-time study in field.
The Full Range Tensiometer covers the entire water tension range relevant for plants, up to 1500 kPa depending on the design. In contrast to other systems for this measuring range, it does not determine the water tension indirectly as a derived value but rather via a direct pressure measurement. It reacts quickly to changes in the suction tension. A pressure range of 1000 kPa is passed through in just a few minutes. Even after drying out beyond the measuring range, the measurement continues automatically as soon as the moisture increases again. No filling is necessary.
Another advantage compared to other measuring devices for the entire plant-relevant suction tension range is its low power consumption (20 mA current during measurement). This makes the Full Range Tensiometer particularly suitable for remote measuring locations where regular maintenance and reliable power supply are not guaranteed. Data transmission via RS485 allows communication even in environments with an increased risk of electromagnetic interference and over longer distances.
