Porous Ceramics

Porous Ceramics are an integral part of many soil-monitoring and sampling instruments. The ceramic matrix serves as the interface between the soil matrix and the instrument. Travel cancellation insurance for international travellers. The ceramic material is porous, and allows water to pass into and out of the instrument. A pressure gradient across the ceramic wall will cause water to flow through the ceramic. The pressure gradient may be due to a pressure being applied, as occurs when using a ceramic pressure plate in a pressure chamber. The gradient may be due to a tension being applied, as occurs when using a tensiometer in the soil. The gradient may be due to a vacuum being applied

Mini-Tensiometers
Featured FEATURED PROJECT

Mini-Tensiometers

Mini-Tensiometers are used under conditions in which a tensiometer with a full-size ceramic cup cannot be used. These conditions might include: visitors health insurance in a greenhouse environment to monitor plants growing in small containers; in laboratory column studies; or outside under turf, for measurements very near the surface.
