T8 Tensiometer
The T8 is characterised by maximum user comfort and was developed for long term monitoring projects.
Typical Applications
- Field measurements
- Water balance, leaching, transport studies, model calibration
- Ecological impact studies
- Agricultural or forestal studies
- In-situ retention curves
- Data logger applications
- Spot readings in with the INFIELD7
Advantages
- Integrated amplifier with configurable output signals
- Integrated soil temperature sensor
- Integrated fill level indicator
- Integrated external refilling: refill or empty the cup through capillary
tubes without removing the T8 from the soil - Solid construction
- Integrated datalogger function
- tensioLINK RS485 interface
- SDI12 interface
Limitations
- Not for dry soils
