Stop lugging around heavy research instrumentation
Understanding infiltration and unsaturated hydraulic
conductivity over a large research area can be difficult-the more
spatially variable your soil is, the more measurements you have to
make. Traditional tension infiltrometers are heavy, complex, and
take a near-expert to run, limiting the measurements you can make.
You need something easier. You need the low-cost, ultra-compact
Mini Disk Infiltrometer.
Simplicity solves complexity
The Mini Disk Infiltrometer provides you with a better overall
picture of your research site because it gives you more data for
less time, effort, and money. Due to its incredibly easy setup and
compact size, it's ideal for making field measurements. You just
pop it in your backpack with a bottle of water and take it
absolutely anywhere. Thousands of scientists worldwide rely on the
inexpensive Mini Disk Infiltrometer to understand complex problems
such as hydrophobicity in soil, infiltration, irrigation system
design, erosion hazard evaluation, and burn severity.
Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity in two easy steps
We designed the Mini Disk Infiltrometer to be the absolute
fastest, easiest way to test unsaturated hydraulic conductivity and
infiltration rates. There's no complex setup. Just fill the
reservoir, set the suction, and start measuring infiltration. You
don't even have to pre-saturate the disk.
There's no place it can't go
The Mini Disk Infiltrometer is so small and compact that it can
be put into a backpack and easily transported to places that are
difficult to access. You don't have to worry about figuring out how
to haul water to your site. The adjustable tension and a sintered
contact plate ensure a reliable measurement of unsaturated
hydraulic conductivity. Not only that, no electronics and no moving
parts mean you won't find a lower cost, lower maintenance system
anywhere.
Great things come in small packages
Get a more complete picture of highly variable unsaturated
hydraulic conductivity with the infiltrometer that gives you more
measurements for less time, less effort, less
expertise, and less money. Simplify your research with the Mini
Disk Infiltrometer. There's nothing else like it.
