CERAMIC Ø 6 mm FOR LABORATORY USE - SDEC 230

APPLICATIONS

Agronomy/agriculture.
Hydrology, soil mechanics.
Permeability studies.
Irrigation management in greenhouses.
Water potential studies on monolithes (laboratory experiments).
Tensiometric application in the laboratory or in the field.

Being extremely small, this ceramic is basically used for laboratory experiments in soil columns. Its mounting (on nylon capillary or PVC tubing) demands great care. SDEC France can make any mouting you like or sell the ceramic seperatly.
