VARIOS generates thermal dryout curves automatically, so you can focus on other tasks. No manual process of getting the soil in and out of the oven. No repeated manual weighing of the sample. It's all taken care of for you, including data acquisition and analysis. How?
Constructing a thermal dryout curve is a painstaking process with the potential for human error. Time and effort go into acquiring and setting up the right components, plus you spend hours mixing samples, taking measurements, and fitting the data into a curve. What if you could have something more accurate, more reliable--and more automated? You can. Introducing VARIOS.
Get more done by getting automated. Remove the tedium and the human error out of thermal dryout curves with VARIOS. It automatically generates complete, high-resolution dry down curves with less effort and less cost, so you can focus on what you love.
VARIOS was specifically designed to create thousands of thermal dryout curves for the 400 mile Suedlink underground cable installation in Germany. So it's engineered to be accurate, affordable, and low maintenance. It combines legendary TEMPOS and HYPROP technology to measure thermal conductivity as a function of soil water content. And it's easy. Just insert the needle into a saturated soil sample, and put it on the balance. VARIOS automatically makes hundreds of precision thermal conductivity measurements while the water evaporates from the sample. The mean water content is calculated based on a continuous recording of the sample weight change. Powerful software does all the calculations, visualization, and fitting automatically, reducing the possibility of error.
