Calcimeter
Calcimeter

Calcimeter

A five station calcimeter for determination, based on a volumetric method, of carbonate content in soil.

Pipette apparatus

Wet Sieving Apparatus

Aggregate stability is established without the need for expensive drying ovens, chemicals, long waiting periods and expensive balances. The results are determined on the principle that unstable aggregates will break down more easily than stable aggregates when immersed in water.

Permeameter
Permeameter

Permeameter

For measuring saturated permeability (horizontal or vertical) of undisturbed soil samples in sample rings.

Sandbox set for pf determination
Sandbox set for pf determination

Sandbox set for pf determination

Three pF sets, with measuring ranges from pF 0 to 4.2, for determination of moisture-release characteristic (pF-curve) of soil.

Double Ring Infiltrometer
Double Ring Infiltrometer

Double Ring Infiltrometer

Used to determine the rate of infiltration of water into the soil and so the capacity for irrigation, drainage, determining the intensity of artificial precipitation and the effect of different treatments of the soil.
