    Standing Wave Principle

    Standing Wave Principle


    The standing wave principle is a highly accurate technique to measure the moisture content of soil and other media. The standing wave principle can precisely measure a percentage change in volumetric water content without calibration. With calibration, the standing wave principle can measure the exact volumetric water content in any soil or other media. Importantly, the standing wave principle is not affected by external influences such as temperature, salinity and toxins.



    MP306 Soil Moisture Sensor

    MP306 Soil Moisture Sensor


    Ideally used in soil column studies, the MP306 is also used to measure the moisture content in materials used in mining, roadway and buildings. It is especially suitable for mineral stock piles, mine tailings and sand for batch mixing of concrete.

    Tension Infiltrometer

    Tension Infiltrometer


    Tension infiltrometers are designed to measure the unsaturated hydraulic properties of soils. Water is allowed to infiltrate soil at a rate which is slower that when water is ponded on the soil surface. This is accomplished by maintaining a small negative pressure on the water as it is infiltrating into the soil.
