UMS, Your partner for environmental monitoring

T5 miniature Tensiometer

1986 - the idea of the T5 Miniature-Tensiometer has been developed.
 
The GSF Research Centre in Munich demanded for a small, precise and reliable Tensiometer for the controlled irrigation of experimental potted plants which partly were exposed to defined water stress.
The first UMS product was born - and still is popular.
 
Since 1991 UMS offers the complete equipment for environmental measuring systems - with UMS made sensor technique, competence and experience in planning of individual solutions and development of innovative products.
