Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) that provides highly accurate volumetric water content (VWC) and bulk soil electrical conductivity (EC) measurements in soils and other porous media.

Key Advantages:

• High-Resolution TDR Technology: Delivers 5ps resolution for precise water content measurements (up to 1.00 m³/m³), using advanced waveform digitizing and analyzing firmware for precise time-domain analysis.

• Fast Performance: Ultra-fast rise time (150ps), rapid response (<0.25 sec), and low power consumption (0.09 J per reading) make it ideal for both field and laboratory use.

• Robust and Reliable: VWC readings are unaffected by bulk electrical conductivity (under 1.8 dS/m) and soil compaction, eliminating the need for soil-specific calibration.

  • Accuracy: (0-1000µS/cm): ±25 µS/cm

  • Accuracy: (1000-2000 µS/cm): ±2.5%

  • Resolution: 1 µS/cm

• Medium Temperature:

  • Reading: -40° to +55 degrees Celsius

  • Accuracy: (+5C to +35C): ±0.25C

  • Accuracy: (-15C to +55C): ±0.5

  • Resolution: 0.1C

• Pore Water EC (Hilhorst Model):

  • Reading: 0 to 55,000 µS/cm
