Model S, Mini-disc infiltrometer for measuring soil hydraulic conductivity
Infiltration and Hydraulic Conductivity of the Soil
Variable suction range 0.5 to 6 cm
Mini-disc infiltrometer:
◆ Compact and simple field equipment
◆ Measurement of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of soil
◆ For survey-type field measurements
Soil Water Infiltration Rate:
► Soil water infiltration is the amount of water entering the soil per unit area. When measured, infiltration defines a curve called the infiltration curve. This can be divided into two parts:
► The first is where water potential dominates the infiltration process (when infiltration rates are highest).
► The second is where Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity (Ks) defines the infiltration rate. Ks expresses the rate at which water can be measured when the porous medium is saturated.
► METER Group offers the mini-disc infiltrometer and the SATURO device to measure infiltration and Ks.
