IRROMETER Tensiometers

IRROMETER Tensiometers

• The IRROMETER Tensiometer is the standard in accurate soil moisture measurement, offering growers an inexpensive and reliable means of measuring soil moisture for irrigation scheduling. An IRROMETER will measure the actual soil water tension, which indicates the effort required by root systems to extract water from the soil. Because the IRROMETER is a true measurement of soil water potential, the instrument is not affected by salinity and does not require site calibration.
• The IRROMETER is available in several models, with standard lengths of 6", 12", 18", 24", 36", or 48" depending on the rooting depth of the specific crop.
• The "LT" IRROMETER is fitted with a low tension 0-40 cb/kPa gauge for applications where tensions above 30 are rarely expected. Ideal for very coarse soils, sands, and non-soil container media where soil water tension changes rapidly in the lower end of the scale.
