Product details

‘Virtual’ make tensiometer measures the force with which water is held in the soil by the soil particles. Scheduling irrigation based on how hard plant roots are working to draw water from the soil. This force, referred to as soil suction, tension, or potential, indicates how tightly the water is bound in the soil, and how much energy must be exerted by plant roots to remove and use the water. The basic components of a tensiometer include a porous ceramic cup, a plastic body tube, and a vacuum gauge. The ceramic cup is placed in good hydraulic contact with the soil and allows transfer of water into and out of the tensiometer body according to the tension in the soil. The vacuum inside the tensiometer body equilibrates with the soil water tension, and the dial gauge provides a direct readout of the tension.

Frequently asked by buyers

What soil depths is the 60 cm tensiometer suitable for?

The 60 cm length makes this tensiometer suitable for measuring soil moisture tension at deeper root zones up to 60 cm below surface, commonly found in many crop root depths.

How does the vacuum gauge provide soil tension readings?

The vacuum dial gauge inside the tensiometer equilibrates with the soil water tension through the porous ceramic cup, directly indicating the tension with a calibrated dial readout.

Can this tensiometer be used in all soil types?

Yes, it can be used in a variety of soils, but optimal hydraulic contact is ensured by the ceramic cup, which performs best in soils where the cup maintains good moisture contact.

Is any calibration needed before use?

The product comes factory calibrated, requiring no additional calibration before installation and use.

How does this instrument aid irrigation scheduling?

By measuring how tightly soil holds water, it helps determine when plants begin to experience water stress, enabling timely and efficient irrigation scheduling.

What maintenance is required for the tensiometer?

Periodic checking of the ceramic cup for cracks, ensuring proper water fill and cleaning the gauge face for visibility are typical maintenance steps.
