Tensiometers
Soil Moisture Tensiometers
Precision made tensiometers for measuring soil water potential
- A good alternative to expensive systems
- Use electronic tensiometers for unattended logging
- Use septum tensiometers and a needle sensor for instant measurements from many locations using the HydroSense meter
- Use the DataHog datalogger to record data from up to 8 tensiometers at varying depths and locations
- Miniature tensiometers available for pots, trays and greenhouse applications
- HydroSense meter also has the ability to log data from temperature, water depth and rainfall sensors
HydroSense
The HydroSense is a meter and a datalogger – the choice is yours! Use the HydroSense as: a simple hand-held meter an instant data storage device. 1200 readings can be stored using 100 different tensiometers / plot locations a datalogger for one tensiometer (water level sensor)
Septum Tensiometers
The clear perspex tubes with porous ceramic bulbs are sealed at the top with a septum stopper. To obtain the pressure reading inside the tube a Needle Sensor with HydroSense meter, which incorporates a pressure transducer, is used to pierce the septum stopper and the reading is dispalyed on the HydroSense meter. There is the [...]
Standard Electronic Tensiometers
Ideal for unattended logging They are available for different depths up to 2m. They can be used with the Skye DataHog datalogger – up to 8 tensiometers on one DataHog or The HydroSense meter Electronic Tensiometers
Mini Electronic Tensiometers
Small design allows insertion into soil without damaging nearby plant roots Ideal for irrigation management of glasshouse crops Small design suitable for use in plant pots and gro-bags Suitable for soil, peat and other mediums No correction factors for different soils or mediums
Dial Tensiometers
Traditional design tensiometer with dial gauge readout of soil suction Low cost, simple to use Direct readout without the need for an electronic meter Ideal for irrigation management Suitable for soil, peat and other mediums No correction factors for different soils or mediums Robust construction for long life Use in conjunction with automatic tensiometers for [...]
