Augers

The augers are designed for use in installing tensiometers in the field. The cutting tip excavates a hole 22mm (0.84in) in diameter and allows easy removal of soil while causing minimal disturbance of the surrounding soil in the profile. The tensiometer fits snugly into the hole, in good hydraulic contact with the soil. The augers are all steel construction for strength and durability. One auger has a two-piece stem with a removable handle, and is 1.5m (4.9ft) in length. A second auger has a two-piece stem and removable handle, allowing for more convenient shipping and transport. Overall length when assembled is 1.2m (3.9ft). Auger extensions are available in lengths of 0.5m (20in) and 1m (39in).

Vacuum Hand Pump

The vacuum hand pump is used to remove air form the tensiometer water reservoir during preparation and routine maintenance. It can also be used to calibrate the dial gauge on the tensiometer, and to periodically check the operation of the tensiometer gauges in the field. The hand pump is made of cast aluminum and is intended for rugged field use. A dial gauge provides a readout of the vacuum, or negative pressure, developed. The pump is capable of developing a negative pressure of approximately -90 kPa (-90 centibars or -13 psi). The hand pump comes complete with a 60cm (2ft) length of clear flexible tubing and attachments for connection to a tensiometer.
