Irrometer Tensiometer

The IRROMETER Tensiometer is the standard in accurate soil moisture measurement, offering growers an inexpensive and reliable means of measuring soil moisture for irrigation scheduling. An IRROMETER will measure the actual soil water tension, which indicates the effort required by root systems to extract water from the soil. Because the IRROMETER is a true measurement of soil water potential, the instrument is not affected by salinity and does not require site calibration.

The IRROMETER is available in several models, with standard lengths of 6", 12", 18", 24", 36", or 48" dependent on the rooting depth of the specific crop. Longer lengths are available by request. For recommended installation depths, click here.


Tensiometer Model SR


The "SR" Irrometer is the standard instrument for use in medium to heavy soils. Instrument includes a threaded replaceable tip as well as reservoir, air free gauge chamber and hermetically sealed IRROMETER vacuum gauge with dual scale of centibars and kilopascals (0-100 cb [kpa] range)


Tensiometer Model LT


The "LT" (low tension) Irrometer is designed for situations where tensions above 30 cb (kPa) are rarely expected. Ideal for very coarse soils and non-soil container-media or where rapidly changing soil water status needs to be observed.

Instrument includes a threaded replaceable (blue) Quick-Flo tip as well as reservoir, air free gauge chamber and hermetically sealed IRROMETER vacuum gauge with dual scale of centibars and kilopascals (0-40 cb [kpa] range)


Tensiometer Model MLT


IRROMETER "MLT" (Miniature Low Tension) - designed for applications similar to the Model "LT" above. Ideal for use with very coarse soils and non-soil container-media. Its compact size and replaceable "Quick-Flo" tip make it the best choice for green house applications.


Automation and Output Options


Options for connecting IRROMETER tensiometers to data collection or control devices are available, including switching gauges as well as 4-20mA and 0.5V to 4.5V output transducers.
