The high capacity tensiometer is a soil sensor capable of measuring large negative pressure values, even above -1 MPa.
The tool is mainly composed of 3 distinct parts:
- a deformable metal membrane that reacts to pressure
- A water reservoir
- A porous filter with high input value
The kit designed and created by Tecnopenta allows you to easily carry out short measurements in the laboratory and offers the possibility of prolonged measurements in the field. The kit includes the instrument and all the accessories necessary for saturating the porous filter.
