Liquid sampler TENSIONIC

soilprobe

The sampling of liquid soil solution for further chemical analysis has always come to the difficulty of knowing whether the solution itself would keep its original characteristics when going through the ceramic pipe. It has been ascertained that by choosing the option of extracting liquid soil solution with porous ceramics, the internal ionic exchanges within the ceramic would result disturbed and the characteristics of the solution collected would be modified. The TENSIONIC is a system which is able to solve this particular problem. This new appliance is very different in distinction to the classic means of extraction: the porous ceramic used for the extraction is a high flow type in order to allow a very high diffusion of ions in soil solution up to the point of the measure. Three capillaries advantageously replace the classical hydraulic link (water content in the tensiometric compartment) thus reducing by factor 80 the volume of dead water of the sampling system.
