The IRROMETER Model LT (Low Tension) is designed to operate in coarse sandy soils and non-soil growing media. With a range of 0-40 centibars (cb) , this instrument is for use in situations where tensions above 30 cb are rarely expected.
The IRROMETER Model LT (Low Tension) was designed to operate in coarse sandy soils and non-soil growing media. With a range of 0-40 centibars (cb) or kilopascals (kPa), this instrument is for use in situations where tensions above 30 cb (kPa) are rarely expected. Gauge increments of 1 cb (kPa) provide a benefit where finer resolution near saturation is needed. This model instrument is also well suited for conditions where rapidly changing soil moisture conditions need to be observed.
The “Quick-Flo” ceramic tip is colored blue for easy identification.
Features:
• 0-40 cb (kPa) range gauge
• “Quick-Flo” ceramic tip (blue)
• Air-free gauge gives accurate readings
• Large reservoir makes maintenance easy
• IP 67 gauge designed for harsh environments. Has membrane vent for temperature and elevation compensation with improved accuracy
