Product details

The suction lysimeter is a cylindrical device consisting of a porous ceramic cup (to withdraw soil pore water using a vacuum); a body tube to act as a reservoir; and a simple stopper assembly with a single hole for pulling a vacuum and retrieving the sample. The negative air pressure created inside the lysimeter draws pore water into the lysimeter through the porous. Suction lysimeters and pressure/vacuum lysimeters, rely on a surface of uniform wetted pores that act as contact points pulling fluids from soils, through interface pore channels into the reservoir of the lysimeter. Suction lysimeters perform best in moist soil.

Frequently asked by buyers

What soil moisture conditions are ideal for using the Soil Suction Lysimeter?

The Soil Suction Lysimeter performs optimally in moist soil environments as the porous ceramic cup requires uniform wetted pores to effectively draw soil pore water through vacuum suction.

Can this lysimeter be used in dry or arid soil conditions?

No, the suction lysimeter is not recommended for extremely dry soils because insufficient moisture impacts the ability of the ceramic cup to create effective suction for water sampling.

How is the sample retrieved from the lysimeter after installation?

Samples are retrieved by applying a vacuum through the single-hole stopper assembly, creating negative pressure that pulls soil pore water into the reservoir body tube for collection.

What materials is the Soil Suction Lysimeter made from?

The key component is a porous ceramic cup which is durable and chemically inert, combined with a robust body tube and stopper assembly designed for field and laboratory conditions.

Is specialized equipment required for installing the Soil Suction Lysimeter?

The device can be inserted manually or with the help of specialized soil insertion tools depending on the soil profile depth and field conditions.
