SoilMoisture / Stevens - Soil Permeameter
A permeameter is a laboratory device used to measure the permeability (or hydraulic conductivity) of soils and other porous materials —typically soils, rocks, or membranes—to water or other fluids. A permeameter measures how easily water passes through a material. Water flow through soil can be measured using a permeameter
SoilMoisture / Stevens - Soil Infiltrometer
A soil infiltrometer is a device used to measure the rate at which water infiltrates into the soil. That is, how quickly water moves from the surface in the field into the ground. Infiltration rate equals the change in water depth on surface divided by time. Time intervals measurements are typically every 5 to 10 minutes.
It is widely used in agriculture, hydrology, environmental science, civil engineering, and soil management. Infiltrometer uses include:
• Evaluate irrigation efficiency
• Design rain gardens or stormwater infiltration systems
• Assess soil compaction or land use impacts
• Estimate runoff potential and erosion risk
SoilMoisture / Stevens - Soil Sampling Augers
Soil sampling augers are tools used to collect soil samples from the ground for analysis. They are commonly used in agriculture, environmental science, geology, and construction to assess soil composition, structure, contamination, or nutrient levels.
A soil sampling auger is basically a cylindrical tool with a handle and a helical or bucket-shaped blade at the end. It is twisted into the soil by hand or with a powered driver, allowing the user to extract a core or column of soil.
Precision Lysimeter for Contaminant Tracking in Soil Profiles
A lysimeter is a scientific instrument usually in a shape of a large soil container with a known volume and surface area. It is used to measure the amount of water that percolates through a soil column with a known volume and surface area and to analyze the movement of nutrients, salts, irrigation affects, or contaminants in the soil profile.
