Get more out of every field visit
Saturated hydraulic conductivity is a pain to measure in
the field. And the field measurement is only the beginning.
When you get back to the office, you need to convert the raw
data into hydraulic conductivity and infiltration rates.
We think you should spend less time on complex measurement
processes and more time being productive. That's why we automated
almost everything in the new SATURO.
Set it up, and leave
The SATURO Infiltrometer does almost everything for
you. It's fully automated and doesn't require post-processing of
data. Install the ring, connect the hoses, and push "start".
It's that simple.
The infiltrometer automatically measures infiltration
rates, and the control unit calculates saturated hydraulic
conductivity (Kfs) on the fly. That means if you need
a value right away, it's there. If you want to dig deeper, you can
always download the raw data.
One person can do everything
Unlike double ring systems, the SATURO is designed for one
person to carry and set up. And you can run multiple instruments
simultaneously, allowing you to maximize the efficiency of your
time in the field.
Eliminate guessing
Water flows through soil in three dimensions. In the early
days, it was difficult to solve three-dimensional equations.
Infiltrometers were created to try and force water to flow in one
dimension and required the use of estimated parameters to get
reasonable hydraulic conductivity values.
Thanks to some mathematical magic, single ring
measurements are now possible, making the whole process simpler and
more efficient. The best part is, you don't have to rely on any
dubious assumptions.
A simple, precise solution
The SATURO combines automation and simplified data
analysis together in one system. It even computes infiltration
rates and saturated hydraulic conductivity on the fly. The SATURO
makes life a little easier for those who need a faster, more
accurate way to measure Kfs in the field.
