FP/mts - Field TDR Probe

FP/mts is a Time-Domain Reflectometry probe for momentary or semipermanent installation for in situ simultaneous measurement of moisture, temperature and salinity (bulk electrical conductivity) of the soil from the same sampling volume. Thin-wall PVC body of the probe provides ultimate low heat conductivity, thus allowing to avoid the parasite "thermal bridge" effects on distribution of soil moisture in the probe’s sensor vicinity.

Physical characteristics:

• Two 10 cm long sharpened acid-resistant steel rods (2 mm in diameter, separated by 14 mm).
• Sensor support made from a section of a PVC tube of 2 cm outer diameter and length from 15 to 150 cm (or longer on request), dependent on the intended depth of the sensor installation.
  
• Available straight or curved sensor support for easy installation.
• Available cable lengths from 1.5 to 6 m from the sensor to the terminating SMA connector.
• On special request, additional support shapes, rods of different lenghts and diameters are available.

Features:

• Measurement of soil moisture, bulk electrical conductivity and temperature.
• Operates with FP/mts field meter and TDR/MUX/mpts laboratory meter.
• Applicable for field use or monitoring purposes.
