Soil Oxygen Meter
The SOM1 Soil Oxygen Meter is a stand-alone logging instrument for the measurement of soil oxygen content [%] of soils.
The SOM1 can support up to five ICT02 Soil Oxygen Sensors, The SOM1 is a continuously logging instrument, for in-situ measurement soil oxygen content [%].
Sensors are designed to be installed in the field for days to years at a time.
Applications
Geotechnical Engineers
The ICTO2 SOil Oxygen Sensor is not affected by saline or sadic soils and can be used in wide-ranging applications.
For example. In the mining and landfill industries, the sensors could be buried in waster to aid assessment of the effectiveness of cover designed to reduce oxygen flux into the waste.
Plant Physiologists
Plant species vary in their tolerance to anaerobic and oxygen-deprived soils. The Soil Oxygen Meter can quantity the exact level of tolerance for all plant species.
Plant root systems uptake oxygen to support respiration and other energy requirements.
With additional measurements, this decrease in oxygen content can be related to plant or microbe activity.
The formation of aerenchyma in plant roots is a common morphological response to decreased oxygen in the soil.
The Soil Oxygen Meter can be used to quantify the level of soil oxygen content whereby this occurs for individual plants.
Portable Oxygen Meter (MO-200)
It is designed to measure 5-100% Oxygen
The MO-200 is designed to measure 5-100% oxygen while the handheld meter displays and stores measurements. The wide measurement range allows it to be used for applications either in the soil or in the lab with the available diffusion of flow-through heads. The sensor is calibrated to ambient air making it very easy to calibrate. An aluminum housing that is filled with epoxy allows the sensor to withstand harsh conditions.
Specifications:
- Designing to measure 0-100% Oxygen in soil, growth media, air, or in-line tubing (flow-through applications).
- Includes temperature sensor to compensate for temperature changes.
- Integrated heater prevents condensation for use in conditions where relative humidity can reach 100%
- Designing to measure 0-100% Oxygen in soil, growth media, air, or in-line tubing (flow-through applications).
- Available in sensor-only version with pigtail leads (for dataloggers) or with handheld.
