Understanding infiltration and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity over a large research area can be difficult -the more spatially variable your soil is, the more measurements you have to make. Traditional tension infiltrometers are heavy, complex, and take a near-expert to run, limiting the measurements you can make. You need something easier. Introducing the low- cost, ultra-compact Mini Disk Infiltrometer.
The Mini Disk Infiltrometer provides you with a better overall picture of your research site because it gives you more data for less time, effort, and money. Due to its incredibly easy setup and compact size, it's ideal for making field measurements. You just pop it in your backpack with a bottle of water and take it absolutely anywhere. Thousands of scientists worldwide rely on the inexpensive Mini Disk Infiltrometer to understand complex problems such as hydrophobicity in soil, infiltration, irrigation system design, erosion hazard evaluation, and burn severity.
We designed the Mini Disk Infiltrometer to be the absolute fastest, easiest way to test unsaturated hydraulic conductivity and infiltration rates. There's no complex setup. Just fill the reservoir, set the suction, and start measuring infiltration. You don't even have to pre-saturate the disk.
