Buriable soil moisture blocks allow moisture levels to be measured throughout the soil profile. It is easy to use and battery operated. This instrument is the ideal companion for the new, slim design moisture blocks, which are placed in the soil and leads connected in turn to the meter. The measured resistance of the block, in ohms, is converted to a corresponding reading between 0 and 100 on an empirical scale. In practical terms this empirical range covers the soil suction range 0.2 to 15 bar, and using the calibration graphs of soil moisture content (dry weight percentage) against soil suction in bars, the soil moisture content may be determined. In practical situations, resistance blocks are often placed at various depths in the soil to monitor soil moisture content profiles across the root zone. Experience will determine the optimum depth of placement depending on the particular soil type. The soil moisture blocks are designed for use with this particular meter and give a uniform and quick response, made possible by their slim design (20 mm diameter).

Capillarity is established between the waterfilled tensiometers and the soil water via a ceramic cup or tip. As soil water tension increases, water is drawn by suction from the tensiometer and the negative pressure created, which is representative of soil tension, may be read from a vacuum gauge.Quickdraw Soil Moisture Probes (Two Sizes)Product Codes: 514-010, 514-012The world’s only portable, fast reading tensiometer. Accurately measures soil water tension. Supplied with coring tool and carrying case. 2 sizes available. The quickdraw soil moisture probe is an accurate, portable, inexpensive means for measuring the moisture available in the soil for plant uptake. The quickdraw probe is ready for immediate use and requires no adjustment or calibration. No batteries are required and its ease of maintenance means that these tensiometers give years of continuous, trouble free service. Used extensively and accepted enthusiastically by farmers, growers, groundsmen and agronomists, world-wide. The coring tool is first used to core an access hole to the desired depth of measurement. The tensiometer is then inserted into the access hole and the ceramic sensing tip is placed in contact with the soil. The Null knob can be used to reach equilibrium and provide a measurement more rapidly.SpecificationsTensiometer TypeQuickdrawProduct Code: 514-010Length (mm)305Dimensions L x W x H (mm)635 x 230 x 230Weight (kg)1.04Product Code: 514-012Length (mm)460Dimensions L x W x H (mm)762 x 230 x 230Weight (kg)1.31Spares/Consumables:Replacement Dial Gauge (514-010/12)tel: +44 (0)1525 249 200 • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • www.ele.comDial-Type Gauge Tensiometer (Various Sizes)Product Codes: 514-020, 514-021, 514-022, 514-024Durable weather and soil resistant tensiometer.

Applications include soil classification and survey, optimisation of irrigation and drainage, calibration of soil water and measuring apparatus for field use. The pressure plate apparatus is used to determine soil water retention and suctions greater than 0.4 bar. The apparatus consists of strongly built metal chambers containing one or more ceramic plates onto which uniform soil samples are placed. Having attained maximum moisture retention (field capacity) the samples within the cells are then subjected to controlled positive air pressures and water is gradually removed. By careful control of pressure, the various equilibrium conditions of pressure and soil water tension or suction are obtained. The air pressure is provided either from a compressor, compressed air bottle or nitrogen bottle, but must always be routed through a manifold having pressure regulators and gauges. ELE can supply three types of pressure plate extraction systems which cover the pressure range 0-15 bar.www.ele.com • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • tel: +44 (0)1525 249 200Pressure Plate Extractor 5 BarProduct Code: 532-100SpecificationsCapacity4 pressure plate cells (Up to 48 samples)Pressure0-15 bar (75 psi)Closure6 bolts with wing nuts; O-ring seal on lidSupport ClipsStainless Steel, adjustableOutflow4 tube assemblies with 3 plug bolts; screw into side wallDimensions (mm)300 dia x 220 depthWeight (kg)18.6Spares/Consumables:Hose Manifold to 15 Bar Extractor (532-112)Hose Manifold to 5 Bar Extractor (532-111)O-Ring Lid Seal, Pack of 2 (532-100/10)Outflow Tube Assembly with Seal (532-120/14)Plug Bolts with Seal (532-120/16)Right-angle Outflow Adaptor Kit (532-120/12)Accessories:1 Bar Pressure Plate Cell (532-104)15 Bar Ceramic Cup (532-124)3 Bar Pressure Plate Cell (532-106)5 Bar Pressure Plate Cell (532-107)Electrical Lead-through (532-126)Soil Sample Retaining Rings, Pack of 12 (532-108)Pressure Plate Extractor 15 BarProduct Code: 532-120SpecificationsCapacity4 pressure plate cells (Up to 36 samples)Pressure0-15 bar (220 psi)Closure8 bolts with wing nuts; O-ring seal on hinged lidOutflow5 ports with outlet tubes NPT outletFor Electrical Leads1/4 inch (6.45 mm)Internal Dimensions (mm)305 dia x 101.6 depthWeight (kg)40.4Spares/Consumables:Hose Manifold to 15 Bar Extractor (532-112)O-Ring Lid Seal, Pack of 2 (532-100/10)Outflow Tube Assembly with Seal (532-120/14)Plug bolts with Seal (532-120/16)Right-angle Outflow Adaptor Kit (532-120/12)Accessories:1 Bar Pressure Plate Cell (532-104)15 Bar Ceramic Cup (532-124)15 Bar Pressure Plate Cell (532-120/10)3 Bar Pressure Plate Cell (532-106)5 Bar Pressure Plate Cell (532-107)Electrical Lead-through (532-126)Soil Sample Retaining Rings, Pack of 12 (532-108)308SoilsEnvironmental TestingPressure Plate Cellstel: +44 (0)1525 249 200 • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • www.ele.comPressure Plate Cell 1 BarProduct Code: 532-104Developed from a high fired Alumina body.
