Water movement in soil is spatially variable. The Mini
Disk Infiltrometer is a qiuck way to test unsaturated hydraulic
conductivity and infiltration rates.
Backpackable
Small, compact, and simple, the Mini Disk Infiltrometer is a
true field instrument. It can be tossed into a backpack with
a bottle of water. Adjustable suction and a porous stainless
steel contact plate assure a reliable soil unsaturated hydraulic
conductivity measurement.
Quick Setup
Just fill the reservoir, set the suction and start measuring
infiltration. You don't
have to pre-saturate the disk.
Reliable
Both scientists and technicians have used the Mini Disk
Infiltrometer to design irrigation systems, demonstrate hydraulic
conductivity, evaluate erosion hazard and gauge the impact of
forest fires. It's ideal for irrigation system design,
classroom instruction, erosion hazard evaluation, burn severity
studies and many other applications.
Hydraulic Conductivity
Download the Excel macro and input soil texture and water
level readings vs. elapsed time to get hydraulic conductivity.
